I just buzz right on by in my pickup, even if I'm pulling my scooter trailer. (In some states they say "all trucks and trailers must stop.") Truckers tell me that when you get to the scales, they have a sign that tells them to keep moving slowly. So they really don't stop. > > > > I almost go postal over those school zone signs that say "15 mph on school days when children are present." How are you going to know?!!! And those signs that say "begin school zone." Would it be too much trouble to tell us where the school zone ends? (Okay, sometimes they do, but not often.) > > > > The message here must be "Don't get old HM started." > > Howard > > Every time I see a warning about "Dip" I turn to whoever I'm with and say, "Look, they knew you were coming." > > Mou"not a lot of friends left"sie
It *is* a relief to know that all those "Slow Children" grow up and get jobs... hence the Slow Men Working signs.
