Cheaper than an empty patrol car
Cardboard cop cars slow trafficTraffic police in China have come up with a cost effective way of slowing down speeding motorists - with a cardboard cut-out of a squad car.
The cut-outs, which look like police vehicles from behind, are being used as a traffic calming technigue in eastern China's Jiangsu Province.
One motorist, Liu Yuan, said: "I spotted what I thought was a police vehicle parked on the hard shoulder so I hit the brakes. [...]
"It was so realistic. It even had a solar panel to power a flashing light to make it look even more realistic at night."
