NEW CAMERA SCHEME FOR ACCIDENT BLACKHOLES
Following the positive reaction to the highlighting of speed cameras in fluorescent yellow, a government thinking tank has suggested a new scheme for taking the idea one step further. Research has shown that the majority of speeding is still committed by young men; so in a move to cut down the number of road based deaths even further a new variation has been developed in which the back of the roadside box is illustrated with a picture of a lady's front bottom.
The new 'Twatso' cameras work on two main levels. Firstly, they are more visible to drivers, and secondly, tests have shown that the key group of male adults aged 17 to 25 slowed down to speeds as low as 3mph when passing the units in order to give more time to have a good stare and shout 'Phwoar'. However, local authorities are still undecided about the new plan, fearing that some men will simply drive straight into them. There are also reports that during trials policemen found the action of reaching inside the new camera to change films 'nearly as exciting as violence'.
If the radical plan is approved government officials have hinted that the Twatso cameras could be sponsored by VAG.
