What they’re saying:
Along with the picture, police posted a reminder for people to think about safety. “Ask yourself: Should this be on a road… with actual cars… will the sheer shock of seeing this on the road cause other drivers to lose focus and drive unsafely?” they asked. “If the answer feels even slightly like ‘yes,’ maybe rethink the ride.
