Chief Tries Shock Tactics To Stop Speeders
We all know about the program on I-95 to fine speeders an extra $50 to get them to back off the accelerator.
A police chief in the United Kingdom is taking a different approach to the problem.
North Wales Chief Richard Brunstrom displayed photographs of a decapitated motorcyclist during a meeting to promote road safety.
One picture showed the man’s head, with his eyes open, inside the helmet on the side of the road. Another showed the torso embedded in a car.
Brunstrom said his intent was to make an impact about the seriousness of the problem.
So which one is more effective in getting drivers to slow down?
