Outline

Message claims that attached photographs show a new speed control tactic that consists of laying very realistic looking fake pothole stickers on the roadway.  




Brief Analysis

The fake potholes are not a speed control tactic. In fact, they were used as part of a 2007 advertisement for Pioneer Suspension, a vehicle suspension supplier.

THIS IS CLEVER

GREAT new speed limit device…..I would slow down rather than take a chance!
I don’t know about you, but I know this would slow me down! I see myself slowing down, trying to ‘straddle’ the hole, then breathing again when I cleared it without hitting it! This is actually a speed control device. Scroll down and look at all three pictures!  And it’s much cheaper than speed cameras!!!
