Tricky Advertising - Cut Out Cop Car Ad Slows Down Traffic
Cut Out Cop Car Ad Slows Down Traffic

A public service advertisement in Turkey, which is actually a cut out cop car parked along side the highway behind a billboard became an effective road safety precaution for drivers who see it.  From a far, it seems a real cop car making someone slow down which enables them to read the billboard. 

"To ad insult to injury, it then becomes apparent that the cop car is a fake cut out. Advertising bastardry at its best." (thecoolhunter.net)
