The All-Seeing Zero Accident Spirit

This little guy was given to my oldest daughter at a
safety workshop. His two-fold mission is to exhort
Hong Kongers to attain the laudable goal of 'zero
traffic accidents' - and to act as a handy paper
holder of course. What makes him truly odd, apart
from his car/hat, is the matching set of 'wheels' on
the back of his head. Initially I thought this was a
bizarre attempt to complete the car motif; then it
occured to me that this was in fact a second set of
eyes, strategically placed to assist him in his
mission. I also like his wrap-around toga/belt,
constructed of a green swath of accident free
highway; note that it also covers his spirit
genitalia - modesty and traffic safety,
stylishly combined.
