Denmark apparently has a problem with speeding motorists that's so out of hand it's deployed the Speedcontrol Bikini Bandits, what the broadcaster in this linked video calls "a specially trained team of enthusiastic young women not afraid to do whatever it to make sure motorists pay more attention to the speed limit." These Danish dames stand off to the side of the road wearing only high heels and bright red Daisy Dukes while holding a speed limit sign. That's it. The plan of attack is working, as traffic in Denmark has virtually stopped so horndog motorists can get their daily fill of roadside hooters. Unfortunately, now Denmark has a traffic jam problem as a result of the bare-chested beauties. Can you believe this is government sanctioned?!?! Perhaps motorists in the U.S. would slow down if instead of being flashed their current speed on the highway they were just flashed.
Thanks for the eye-opening tip, Big Al!

That's one of them there Prepackaged News Items. Sure beats the one they did on Medicare Part D. Can't wait until they show it on KRON 4, "Jim has the latest on how this will affect tits in the Bay Area".

Probably cause more accidents than prevent them from male drivers being diverted from paying attention to the road. lol

What was the name of that Danish Cop? Bent Kock Anderson, or something.
Calguy @ Nov 20th 2006 7:18PM
God I love the Danes. Such fun, so sex positive, so full of life and open to new ideas. We can learn a lot from them..

Oh, man. I have to go there.

I lived in Denmark for 6 months, and I consider it my adopted 2nd country.
Danes can be such goofballs. I'm not surprised at all this story came from Denmark.
Yes, officers name was Bendt Koch Anderson, and it sounds just like you think it does.

This idea is tits, err, fantastic!!!!
Unfortunately, we will have fembot women's groups crying foul in this country if we tried this because the fembots aren't young and hot enough to qualify for a job doing this type of "road work".
Of course, the women will want some beefcake if we get the cheesecake. I'm ok with this, I just wont drive down the street that the women like to use.

This is part of a PR stunt from Danish Road Safty Council.
From www.speedbandits.dk:
"This micro site was made by the Danish Road Safety Council and aims to draw attention to speed signs and speed limits in Denmark. Despite a decrease in speed violations, 7 out of 10 Danes still exceed the speed limit on a regular basis. Respecting the speed limits is the simplest way to save lives."
I live in DK and we do not (unfortunately) have topless girls running around the roadside ;-)

I want to move my car forward and backward and forward and backward.
After that, I will turn my engine off for 2 minutes.
Then I will continue driving my car forward and backward and forward and backward.
Then I will smoke a cigarette like the guy in the video.
Then I will turn my car around 360 degrees, then continue to drive it forward and backward and forward and backward.
Then I will turn the engine off, and let her wave the sign a couple times for me.
Then I will continue to drive forward and backward and forward and backward.
Then I will smoke a cigarette like the guy in the video, with my transmission in neutral, and rev my engine to red line.
Then I will let her wave the sign at me a couple more times.
Robin @ Nov 21st 2006 9:29AM
I am all for speed control - whatever it takes.
And this could put out of work women back in the workforce.

#10 - Micheal Taylor----- Thumbs Up Man !!!!!
Oh man, not for nothing, those Danes all look so casual, their faces aren't plagued with the stress lines that oh so many here in the USA have...
I'm kicking myself for not going their when I was single and in my 20's.
John @ Nov 21st 2006 2:37PM
#16, unfortunately, there are no out of work hot women.
Bill Maher is an Idiot @ Nov 21st 2006 3:58PM
That's because Danes don't do anything.
Bernard @ Dec 3rd 2006 8:15AM
Very effective.
We should try this here in the US.
