they are used by tire stores like Big-O and Discount Tire. when business is slow they flip a switch and little nails pop up out of them..

it's the advanced version of the ole "pizza box full of nails" in the road outside the tire shop..

Heh, you might not be too happy with the data collect. If you hit it going exceptionally fast every time you went over em... with any consistency...

"Gee Joe, every day at 4 pm, this guy drives by here going 20+ over"

"Alright Tom, we'll be sure to leave a squad car to get him"

Maybe they use the data to see what times to put up speed traps!

Have to agree with the vandalism bit... who do you think paid for that shit? Your freakin' tax dollars. What do you think is going to pay to replace that shit... your freakin' tax dollars. If someone around here did that, it'd be my tax dollars as well... and I wouldn't be too happy about that.
