Dear aunty Heidi,

Once again I write to you in frustration. My gripe today is pointless motorway signs... why do we have motorway signs that advise us of a speed limit and as the photo suggests ‘with care’? Quite often i use motorways and see speed restrictions. The point is either the traffic is far too built up to go at that speed or the traffic wombles who monitor the motorways have gone for their extended 3hr break and have forgotten to turn the signs off. I am pretty sure the average motorist will be equipped with the brain capacity to decide what speed they should be doing in certain conditions and have enough control of their vehicle to be able to drive carefully. I have another example - duing the winter months there are signs in certain weather conditions that advise ‘fog’ .......... No Shit! I can clearly see fog if it is there. I do not need advising of it.

I regularly carry a set of golf clubs in the boot of my car, should i get out and use my well worn driver to turn these ridiculous signs off as i do not have any other tech at hand to assist the regular motorist. I am sure there are other people who share my frustrations.
Thanks in advance

    When these people make signs for motorways & the like they have to think about all of the people even the dumb ones. Working in the public sector as I do you think you have seen all the dumb things in the world then someone comes along & takes dumb to a whole new level.

    When they give out driving license they don’t give out an IQ test so you can be well stupid & still be allowed to drive on the highways if you pass the tests.

    So in fact I feel sorry for most Sign writers because they are trying to reach the dumbest of people with the hope that their message hits home & stops them killing someone.

    I hope my answer was helpful & I’m sorry I didn’t say the word positive in my answer please don’t hold it against me.

    Yours
