More care for sheep

From August
The Norwegian Council for Road Safety (TT) found that motorists in Norway
demonstrated odd behavior when passing sheep - and children - in traffic.
The TT concludes that area motorists show more consideration for sheep than children.
The test consisted of tethering two sheep to a tree along a road with heavy traffic near a school.
"Not surprisingly most braked and drove calmly past. But when motorists passed children at the same place their speed was remarkably higher,"
The Monday experiment was timed to coincide with the start of school, and there were many children present to watch the difference in reaction from motorists.
Johansen said that TT was considering more of such experiments, and said if motorists didn't do better they might consider putting out sheep along all school routes.
