Ukraine's dummy police cars
A unique police car has been introduced in Ukraine as part of an ongoing campaign against speeding.
The "vehicle" is flat, has no motor or moving parts, and is made of a single sheet of metal.
It looks close enough to the real thing to instil reckless drivers with respect for the speed limit.
But there are fears that the dummy could be more valuable as scrap metal than as a deterrent to speeding.
