Ever wanted to do 150 in a 30 legally?

I wonder what idiot-related antics would result from switching a normal speedlimit sign with that one... And how long the cops would take to realize it.

Face it, that would be far too much fun to go idiot fishing with, since we all know some moron teeny-bopper would do it and promptly Roman-candle. (or get caught by the cops)

Get a few of those and replace every sign in my town. Sit on my front porch with some popcorn and watch the fun.

It *shouldn't* take the cops long to realise it; but then again, too much coffee and donuts can dull the brain...

Try the drunk one in an unmarked the other day, he was all over the road, and speeding like a mofo. I blindspot paced him for about 5 miles before he turned off. I was *so* asking for a ticket, 72 in a 50, and harrassing a cop.

*bets the cop in question had just dealt with a daytime DUI*

I live in So Cal. If I put that up people will still speed.

"150? Sweet now I can do 160 before the cops pull me over!"

Kinda like the 50 zone out here? 70 anyone?

Of course out here I think the state puts up lower speedlimits just to keep the people at the speed they want them at, and to give the cops something to do.

Oh, and I am fairly sure that a Washington state driver's license also gives you the right to speed like a mofo, and be a total idiot on the roads here... Or it just seems that way...
