Fake cop car and billboard

[TehBorken]

I bet this is effective. From Advertising/Design Goodness, a fake cop car and billboard:
[/p]
[/p] A driver from a distance will see a police car hiding behing a billboard, as the police typically do in Turkey/ thus the driver instinctively slow down or make sure that they are going at the legal speed limit. When they come closer they are able to read the billboard text:

    Pay your traffic tickets on time without waiting in line - [a href="http://isbank.com.tr/"]isbank.com.tr[/a]

However just as they pass the billboard they will realize that there really isn't a police car hiding there. It's a full size reproduction of a police car which is a part of the billboard.

Ahahaha...Very clever.  I guess to avoid speeders from becoming complacent about the 'cut outs', they would have to have a real one in exactly the same setting every once in a while.

Brilliant Idea. I would fall for it.

Seen it before. They do little tricks like that all time over here.  It works of course.

That's very clever.  I would think that it's real.

[Ally]

that's funny.

  It's almost like people that drive around in Crown Vic's.
