Picture yourself driving down a road. You're going a little over the speed limit because, let's face it, you're normal. All of a sudden you look up from your radio to the road, and there's a little girl chasing a ball into the street!You slam on the brakes, skid to a stop, collect yourself, then find out you've been tragically punk'd by the British Columbia Traffic Safety Foundation.
Starting today, to encourage safer driving in school zones, a $15,000 3-D display will be installed to scare the bejeezus out of speeding motorists. That's right, a $15,000 display. Couldn't they have just paid a smaller adult to dress like a child and run across the street?
The display is designed so that drivers traveling the 30 km/h speed limit (18 mph to normal folk) will be able to stop safely in the event that a real child is crossing the street.
Unfortunately, the majority of people who cruise around at 30 mph will be brought to a screeching halt, allowing them to reflect on just how inconsiderate and foolish they were being, right before another speeder crashes into the back of them.

Wait for the lawsuits to begin. When the first driver swerves and looses control of their car and hits a tree or another car it'll hit the courts fast.
This is totally unacceptable from a safety standpoint.
Just clock the speeders and hand out tickets!

This is one of the dumbest things ever! I can just imagine a defendant in court using the defense: "Your Honor, how was I to know I was running over a REAL child? I thought it was just one of those new displays. IT'S NOT SAFE TO PLAY WITH THE PSYCHE OF DRIVERS; WE'RE ALREADY ON EDGE. LEAVE US ALONE. BAD IDEA!!!

This is a great thing! There are so many drivers who don't care about kids, and don't care if they are driving in school zone or on a race track!
