The Skoda Fabia is a pretty special car. Just park it on the street and see what happens. It's way more attention getting than you think. A very clever ad by AIS London and MindsEye director Luke Bellis.

There have been ads like this before, of course—notably, this 2008 spot about driving safely around cyclists.
