The Fortyists!

Take a look at this picture of some road signs:


What do they have in common?

Apparently they all mean that you should drive at precisely 40 miles per hour. At least according to the driver of the car in front of us all the way home today!

No matter what the posted speed limit, they drove along at 40. Grr. There were no points along the route where they could be safely overtaken, so we were stuck with it for miles!

It's not a one off event, unfortunately. There are hundreds of Fortyists out there, just waiting to create huge queues of traffic behind them on country lanes. I suspect they may have been employed by the Cartel as part of their dastardly conspiracy!

I noticed that like 20 years ago. Nice to know they're still at it.

I suspect they'll still be at it in another 20 years! :)
