        How slow do you have to be driving in order to read the entire sign before you pass it?

          A few summers ago, I saw a road sign on a mountain pass in Colorado that said, "During periods of heavy snow, chains are required". Someone had spray painted underneath that message, "Whips are optional".

              I've been behind people who drive slow enough to read that.

                    A lot to read if you're traveling at pretty good speed, lol.

                      I give the sign a thumbs down, all talk but no plot!

                        I bet they have all sorts of horrible crashes on that stretch of the road as drives crane their necks around to try and read the damn thing.

                        I actually saw a sign on the Hollywood Freeway once, one of those huge green ones that covers the entire set of lanes. It said, "Ignore this sign."

                            I think this one is a great warning of the road ahead
