So you're driving along the road, minding your own business... You pass a sign that says "Free Speeding Tickets Ahead"... Are you going to take that thing seriously?... Personally, I wouldn't really bother normally... But now in a couple areas in NJ, they have come up with a few of these goofy signs in the hope of slowing down drivers... I have to say, I happen to like the speed limit signs we already have... Nothing fancy, just basic black and white information... I don't need some technicolor attempt at humor to tell me I'm speeding... Moreover, I don't want my tax dollars being spent on new, redundant signs... You want people to slow down?... Get your police force to get moving and write a tons of tickets... Now I don't want a ticket naturally, but I can tell you there are a few towns around here that are like police states when it comes to speeding, and guess what... Nobody speeds there!... The same people that are against grading kids in school probably came up with this crap... Are they afraid our self worth will be effected if we get a ticket?... Are people not supposed to be responsible for their own actions when they break the law?... Do we need to be entertained by the speed limit signs?...
