That reminds me of a place up in n alabama.

The speed limit is 30. Problem is they have old signs, and the bolt coming through is exactly where a decimel would be. So it looks exactly like it says "Speed limit 3.0"


And yes, when I first saw it I had to slow down. Had to make sure what I was seeing wasnt really a 3 mph limit. There were several signs on this stretch of county road like this.

I can never say that that has happened, but I got a ticket for not coming to a complete stop at the stop sign, I said i did, and the cop said i came to 1mph and then kept on going.....it was 11:45 at night and the only one on the road....I was mad...

Cops need to quit being nazis about stop signs. To not come to a complete stop should be tolerated, it saves gas and helps rid our dependence on foreign oil.

I also sometimes coast for as much as a half mile before coming to a red light. Using your brakes eats momentum. If your vehicle is naturally gonna eventually stop, just take your foot off the pedal. Sometimes you will even see the light change to green before you get there and you wont drop below 20 mph. I dont understand people who gun a vehicle all the way up to a red light, switch their foot from gas to brake and then gun it again when it turns green. Often if you time your driving through lights you will get through lights faster than those people and use less gas.

I agree 100% plus it saves wear and tear on your vehicle. And one of the people you don't understand is the BassinBandit. He doesn't understand why I start slowing early, he thinks I'm wasteing time. Hopefully one of these years him and alot of other people will understand what WTL just said.

Tell me about it. My sister does this. And not only is she wasting gas, but she better be glad my dad and I change her brakes. We put brakes on her car almost every year. That's rediculous... I figure I'll learn from other people's stupid mistakes... and I can't afford to drive too fast once Iget a truck. I told my parents that's why they don't have to worry about me speeding; it wastes gas.

A man rolls through a stop sign and a police officer soon pulls him over. he says, "I slowed down, it's the same as stopping"

The police decides to put it in perspective for him and pulls out his flashlight. "If I started to hit you over the head with my flashlight, wwould you want me to stop or slow down?"
