Vic Roads Attempts Hypnotist Act
Victoria Roads are playing fast and loose with our minds.
They want you to think that they care for you, but that wording is ambiguous.
Honestly, you’ve never seen so many signs telling you that sleeping behind the wheel is detrimental to your car's panel integrity. Every 800 metres there’s some earnest bit of pleading from the powers-that-be about speeding when you are asleep with an overloaded truck, or something… I dunno, I wasn’t paying that much attention. If it wasn’t for all those micro-sleeps, I would’ve been so tired.
But it’s all lies. As you can see by the sign above, once you’ve read messages that say NAP NOW! Rhythmically, for a few hours, you’re not even going to bother pulling over. You’re just going to do it right there and then.
"And when I click my fingers in three, two, one; you're backwards, on fire in a ditch."

Perhaps they mean for you to pull over?
ReplyDeleteOooooooooh....
ReplyDeleteI suppose that they should actually qualify that if that's what they want. As humans, we aren't meant to think very deeply at high speeds. Or perhaps any speed.
ReplyDeleteI think it's bad policy for road signs to advise people to take powernaps while in charge of a moving vehicle. Sign should read, "Stop car, then powernap". They're just leaving themselves open to litigation aren't they?
ReplyDeleteGosh I'm subtle.
