You are on your way to work or maybe school, you drive along the road and suddenly you see a giant bus driving towards you. Don’t worry, it’s only an illusionary billboard sticker. Everyone would be frightened by this huge ad that an insurance company created to rise attention about their service.
It’s an long-used slogan of the ‘Centraal Beheer’ insurance company, located in the town of Apeldoorn, The Netherlands. They also do ‘short film’ type of commercials. (The slogan translates in something like ‘Just call to Apeldoorn’.)

This would never be legal in the US because it would be a distraction.
Oh and common sense.
What do people do when they see a bus coming toward them? They swerve.
I just loved it! I love this kind of stuff!

Very creative design and idea! I like it!
This would never be allowed in the US because you people are retarded.
“What do people do when they see a bus coming toward them?”
they don’t see a bus coming towards them, they see a bus going in reverse
because the back of says bus has a sticker that looks like the front
These buses drive around here in Amsterdam all the time. It;s a dutch company.
I think a sick idea. Nice one…

LMFAO that's good.
It is not photoshopped ,this bus and ad is real.
yeah yeah the reflections are all wrong and you have seen a fair amount of photoshopped pictures in your days
2008 called they want their hype back 
anyway cool ad, seen it a few times in Amsterdam
Successful Troll Is Successful!
Great ad, but I hope everyone realizes it is posted on the back of the bus- look at the tail lights, you see the bus going away from you.
The only way that someone is going to think that bus is coming towards them is if they were already distracted to begin with, and manage to see the sticker without noticing the direction the bus is going in.
Morally questionable to prey on the people’s fear of accidentally being killed? Probably, but I don’t really know what passes for funny in their culture. A real threat to other drivers? No more so than any other advertisement that attracts the attention of someone best served by paying attention to the road.
i love it. doesn't leave you indeferent
what does “Just give Apeldoorn a call” have to with the image?? help Apeldoorn a bus is gonna hit me!!!!
If this were in front of you it would obviously be moving WITH YOU on the roadway. You people who say that drivers would swerve are completely insane.
And yes, correct—American companies would be afraid to run something like this for fear of some opportunistic person purposely claiming that they were somehow frightened by this ad, thus resulting in an expensive litigation that would probably see the vulturous plaintiff rewarded with millions of dollars.
nice
haha this makes me want to drive over to Apeldoorn *2 hours away* just to check out these buses
Look at me!? I’m the world’s best backwards driver!
