Re: Incident screens to prevent accident rubbernecking - will they work?
you'll be better off getting the nearest 40ft lorries to block off the scene. They will be much closer to any incident

Maybe they should just set up speed cameras and have them locked onto any whopper doing less then 40mph

Re: Incident screens to prevent accident rubbernecking - will they work?
Simply film all accident scenes in HD and stick the footage in an easy to search format on youtube. This way, the ghouls can watch once they're safely home, as opposed to whilst driving 30 tonnes of artic lorry down the opposite carriageway.
Seriously though, do people really think there isn't more useful equipment the emergency services could be carrying in their loadout? |

I thought the flaps were part of a game where you put your arms through and try and guess the part of the body that's crushed by the car.

Re: Incident screens to prevent accident rubbernecking - will they work?
If nothing else if it stops young children seeing such horrific scenes on the side of the road then I am all for them.
Cant really see that they will do what they are intended for though.
