Drivers Slow Down to Optical Illusion of a Child

most drivers will stay idiots ,no matter what they cook up . it's a fucking miracle that not more people are killed every day.

Perfect... Until you crash trying not to hit the "girl".

this technology, should be accompanied by something that tags a drivers license, after some tags insurance rates go up...period

If I was drinking and driving in this garage and I ended up spilling my drink because of this image, I would not be a happy camper.

This is brilliant, it sure will give people a shock the first time round, making them think twice about driving like a dick head. I disagree with people, you may become accustomed to these after a while but if you're caught unawares you'll have the fright of your life!

I think we need to see more of these illusions.

Drivers will soon realize this is just an optical illusion and will ignore it. Then when they're on the street they'll think that a little girl picking up a ball is just an optical illusion, will drive past her, and before they realize it's a real girl she's under the car already.

That's because they were scared of her shoes.

Some drivers will not fall in the tricks second time. They will remain crazy as always.

haha this is just going to freak people out, first they will panic thinking there is a child in the road, then think they have seen a ghost...absolutley ridiculous money waste

hey just added one of these in a school zone. It shocking drives and it is working some slow down some even pull over and stop to see what it was the just saw..someone that it was ghost lol

AS some how done graphics this is an old school tech that still works well. They should change it out from time to time as people will get familiar with it as time goes on.. plus all the car driving over it will wear it away.

CC

some people would just drive faster....

Perhaps, instead of a child, a moose might be more effective. A child will do limited damage to a car. A moose, on the other hand, will total a car.

...I see nothing...

Floor it...

This is some bullshit CIA technology. People will eventually barrel through the illusion, then later on barrel through real children.

The link on my home page mentions driver apathy, as people get used to it. http://news.yahoo.com/s/yblog_upshot/20100908/od_yblog_upshot/canada-unveils-new... (i personally think it is a bad idea).

"Oh it must be one of those optical illusions. Well you're not fooling me again scientists!" *Large Thud*

"Oh shit...."

I wonder how long until some idiot driver under the influence runs over an actual child thinking it was one of these things?

this is better than any speed bump, hump, or lump.

Who lets their kid play ball in a parking garage?

I wouldn't really consider a painting on the ground technology. It is still pretty neat,

Well interesting idea, but as soon as there are a few heart attacks and crashes, the lawsuits will end this idea.
I do not know about Canada, but here in the US I think our driving manuals are woefully lacking in safety instructions. I have a CDL, my study book was about an inch thick. Four wheelers scare me. It seems like any idiot can get a license.

What about the boy who cried wolf...?

That's awesome. But they probably shouldn't use an image like that. It could cause locked brakes and swerving. They should use a pig lying down. That will case people to slow down and wonder, "what the hell is that?"

lol that will share some sense into you when your driving...

Canada FTW

Let's make one of a black man reaching into his pocket and see how long before a cop unloads a full clip into its back.

lmfao i wud just run over hahahaha
