Things that crack me up, #34
Warning: Someone to gawk at ahead
Image description: A roadside warning sign. A white triangular sign with a red boarder has an image of a horse drawing a cart with international symbol wheelchair guy sitting in the cart. His chair is larger than the horse. Signs below read "Disabled drivers, 100 yds".
Intriguing, isn't it? Are there actual horse carts like this up ahead? And what about that, exactly, warrants a warning? Are the horses particularly stressed? Are the drivers especially bad? Or did the local municipality decide this was so interesting that tourists need advance warning of what they will see?

And how do they know that the drivers will always be there, exactly 100 yards ahead?
Yes! And is it one guy in a chair circling his horse, or are there dozens milling around? That latter might warrant a sign because it would be alarming to suddenly be amidst a sea of horses and carts.
Your blog always makes me think and your posts "Things that crack me up" are funny and insightful. I have seen accessible horse drawn carts but never a sign like the one posted.
This is a great sign, and I hope it starts showing up on the written portion of drivers exams. I do have to wonder if this was a specially created sign by a secret government department or perhaps a pre-existing approved design that had already been made for wheelchair drivers of horse and carts?
