Beware bush dwelling radar men wielding mini stop signs and a ticket book


Ahhhh...I love the internet. Taking traffic school online from Sammy Signal in the comfort of my home with a steamy cup of coffee sure beats the alternative.

What I learned today:

1) speed limit signs are not strategically placed to generate revenue
2) if you are slow as hell and holding up traffic on a mountain road you are required by law to pull over and allow people to pass (hah...please teach more people this)
3) You can be fined for driving across a fire hose
4) pregnant women do not qualify as a carpool


#4 made me laugh...I got to thinking that if the whole point of the carpool lane is to reduce traffic and polution then what good does it do for all those soccer mom's to get the advantage? Hauling about all their own kiddos willy nilly doesn't reduce the number of cars on the road any more than an unborn fetus does.

well if you are carpooling someone elses dog somewhere with yours I think you should be able to. It's kinda the same as carpools of kids. You are saving the environment just as much as the soccer moms.
