Brilliant Speed Control in Canada
April 24, 2009
The Arrive Alive website received an email from a South African road user titled :”How’s this for speed control?”
I don’t know about you, but this would slow me down! People slow down and try to “straddle” the hole, then breathe a sign of relief they completely cleared it!
This is actually a marketing stunt designed for manufacturers of vehicle suspensions. Scroll down and look at all three pictures.
Pretty clever, huh??? Especially if moved around each day. Isn’t art wonderful?
The Concern in South Africa would be that the road users might not slow down and drive into the VERY REAL threat of actual pot holes!

Good way to cause a wreck when people swerve to avoid.
The photos are from a 2007 marketing campaign for Pioneer Suspension by the Y&R Everest Advertising Agency in Mumbai, India according to the Ads of the World web site.

sorry, these are fake. I’ve never seen them. I’ve googled them hundreds of times and everytime there’s just these three pics. I’m pretty sure someone had a lot of time in their hands and decided to do something with Photoshop.
In my country it is normal! All the roads have big hole and people still running!. It is so sad!
In our country, INDIA, this is very normal. I mean the real pot holes. We see atleast hundreds of em in every road. We are used to it. We have big tolerance towards this.
