Roadside fun
i was reading this book, "Peep peep dont sleep" which is a collection of road signs that come across when you are in the hills. I saw a lot of them on my trip. Here are a few gems
- Feel the curves, do not test them
- Horn is to honk, please do it on my curves
- Run on horse power, not on rum power
- For safe arriving, no liquor in driving
- Darling I Like You, But Not So Fast
- Too Fast You Won't Last
- On my Curve, check your Nerve
- Love the neighbour, but not while driving
- Road is hilly, dont drive silly
- Mountains are pleasure only if you drive with leisure
- Be Mr. Late, better than Mr. Late
- Let your insurace policy mature before you
:)
