I wonder if It'll work in Doha.....?????????

A Swiss scheme to use a guardian angel to urge motorists to slow down is proving such a success that it may be extended.

Police in the state of Fribourg employed a winged man dressed in white to stand at the roadside to remind drivers to go slow.

The professional actor waves and flaps his wings at motorists travelling too fast as part of the safe-driving campaign.

"The idea is to provide a sort of concrete protection, to have a real angel telling drivers to be responsible," said police spokesman Benoit Dumas.
"To have a physical presence like that makes the message more visible, and it's out of the ordinary."

it will work if the angel is a sexy siren wearing only wings. The traffic may become too slow infact.
