Does anyone else look at those warning signs saying "Three deaths in nine years" ...?

Question

... and think, "OK, that's pretty good odds", and not slow down?

Answer 1

ha ha ha ha, i am finding this question so funny, and the answers too! lol

Answer 2

where do you see those sings

Answer 3

I like the one on the main road outside a hospital near us.ARE THEY TOUTING FOR WORK.Sorry its just my warped sense of humour after 35 yrs as a Paramedic,stay safe.PAX.

Answer 4

yes, absolutely !!

I thought black spots were far more dangerous before those signs informed me otherwise !

I don't think it makes me drive faster, but it does make me laugh that the highways agency think that people will think the odds are bad.

Example: there is one on the A4 near Maidenhead that says "3 deaths in 5 years". I used to think this section of road was a nightmare but when you take the 3 drunk drivers who crashed late at night out of the total, it seems the road is very safe !!

Answer 5

why dont they say " thousands not killed in 9 years " ha ha ha.

Answer 6

I think the same thing about the "Work Zone - $250 Max Fine" signs. I would be more worried if that was the minimum fine and the maximum was left to my imagination.

Answer 7

how many people take their eyes off the road to read them...

then spend time thnking about the accidents instead of concentrating on driving?

Answer 8

Hi Stephen,

I had a crash last year whilst reading one. It was only a slight bump and no-one was hurt.

Answer 9

I dont because I keep my eyes on the road at all times.........
