barrymung Posted November 18, 2006 Report Share Posted November 18, 2006 Driving home to Mung Towers* t'other night along the M27 and the matrix signs were on, displaying something like "don't drink and drive" or somesuch nonsense. At each and every sign the traffic would bunch up and slow down to about 20mph before speeding up again. Until the next matrix sign of course. Why is this? Is it due to dyslexics/people who can't read having to slow down until they have decyphered what the sign is saying? Fair enough slowing down for a sign when it says something like "accident ahead-slow down or you'll die" but to slow down for a sign that doesn't need slowing down for is just stupid! When the signs were first installed they displayed "Signs under test-please ignore" people still slowed down to a crawl, presumably to read them. Perhaps people that can't read 'n' write proper English like wot I does should be banned from the road? Poor readers will kill us all!

barrymung Posted November 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2006 Either that or maybe the public has very bad eyesight in which case "people who should wear glasses but don't will kill us all!" (That's if bird flu doesn't get us all first) Mung Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m_c Posted December 20, 2006 Report Share Posted December 20, 2006 Maybe they should be turned off until they have something important to say to us, such as road closures? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
