Fake flock of sheep fool motorists into thinking they’re real

Whenever I’m driving and I see a dog which is not on a lead, or a child skipping along the pavement, I’m always concerned that they might suddenly run into the road in front of my car.

However, some model sheep on a West Sussex roundabout seem have been raising the same concerns in other drivers. The fake flock apparently look so realistic that many motorists have slammed on their brakes in the fear that they have escaped from a field.

West Sussex County Council has already painted the sheep pale green in the hope that motorists will realise that they are fake, however, this has apparently not helped, and the next step has been to imprison the sheep with temporary road works barriers.

While the council work out a more permanent solution to the problem, drivers can feel reassured that the sheep will not be able to escape from their bright yellow compounds.

Hmm... Maybe they should consider painting them hot pink next time, or at least accessorise them with some bling so that they are obviously not real!
