I like the way the Czechs have approached this problem and am asking QL Ladies to volunteer for a similar scheme here please...

A bid to make road junctions in the Czech Republic safer by pitching cardboard cutouts of female traffic police has backfired because the miniskirt-clad officers have proved such a distraction that accidents have doubled.

The Czech capital Prague decided to put women officers on duty with stop-and-go signs at a variety of dangerous junctions after it was decided traffic lights were too costly.

But with their raised hemlines, high heels, stockings and lipstick, the police officers have become crash-magnets.

One driver involved in a crash denied he was ogling the cut-out, saying: "I admit I was looking at her, thinking what the hell is she wearing a miniskirt for in this weather?"
