This Idea Fraught With Some Hidden Unintended Dangers

Kids Cutouts Help Cut Down on Speeders
Associated Press - (APTN)

A local Ohio man is selling life-like cutout photos of kids to slow down speeding drivers. He says drivers going too fast often confuse the photos for real children and are forced to slow down. (July 25)
I can see the immediate instant gratification type reward with this attempt to get people to slow down in their cars and for one entrepreneur to make some coin as well.

On the downside however, how long before these very same speeding people become so used to seeing these cutouts they then tragically disregard a real child or two jumping in their path during that ever so important and un-doable split second. Just a thought.

It's simply human nature, especially for those so inclined to always try and cut corners to gain an edge or extra second or two, like most speeders it's safe to say are always trying to do.
