Potholes used to slow down speeders in Canada-Fiction!
Summary of eRumor:
A forwarded email with photos that says painted potholes are being used to slow down speeders on the roads in Canada.
The Truth:
This is not a ploy to slow down speeders and the photos did not even originate in Canada.
As a normal practice, municipal authorities paint navigation terms on streets like “STOP”, “SLOW” or “YIELD” not slogans that say “Feels like Pioneer Suspension.” The photos are from a 2007 marketing campaign for Pioneer Suspension by the Y&R Everest Advertising Agency in Mumbai, India according to the Ads of the World web site.
