I see the above sign often around the St. Louis area. Sometimes instead of Student is reads Permit. It just a small cautionary signal to other drivers about an inexperienced driver who may need a little slack. Sometimes I have wanted one with the not so original saying: “Please Be Patient, I’m from out of town”
So I started wondering if that they made such signs/bumper stickers for “Senior Drivers” as it might be a good gift idea for someone I am intimately acquainted with. No drum roll please, they do.
Do I need to put one on all three vehicles, I drive all of them differently? I pick and chose my places, but I drive my Miata, well, like a sports cars. I drive my Tacoma fairly staidly, and Señora’s Outback even more so. I about have the leaving the blinker on for miles and miles down pat. I am not so prone to push right on red like I used to. I’ve recently quit looking at speed limits simply as suggestions. Wonder if I could get an insurance discount if I had one of these on each of our vehicles. Or maybe I should just be content that I am still driving at my advanced age…
Of course, I might need another sign that reads “I brake for rest stops.”
And so it goes.
How about “Please be patient…my gun goes off at the sound of horns.”
Must be the South Texas coming out… I’d be afraid the rednecks would take it as a challenge.
