On driving
by chuckofish
As my sixteen year old son swerved violently drove around a sharp corner on a particularly scenic back road of northern NY (and I do mean northern), I remarked rather breathlessly that it was nice he didn’t have to learn to drive on the terrible narrow roads around his grandmother’s house in Devon, England. Tim, gripping the wheel more tightly said through gritted teeth, “yes, and our road signs are clearer too.” This put me in mind of one of our favorite English passtimes, namely finding strange road signs and attempting to interpret them.
What do you think this one means? Motorcycles should only jump over cars in order to get access to this road?
Then there’s the ever popular
and the equally cryptic
Only the British…




“Danger — BMX jumping zone.”
OR
“Only one motorcyclist per car roof.”

Never mind–I see it now…
