The tortoise...
We really must get out more. When we started discussing this, we didn’t realise the richness and diversity of the silly electronic signs available in the UK.
‘My drive consists of a trip across the Pennines into Lancashire from Morrisons HQ in Bradford,’ says John Lomas, at WM Morrison Supermarkets. On the M62 two weeks ago he saw the following sign: ‘Slow pedestrians in carriageway’, and a 50mph speed restriction.
‘This sign was then repeated at every opportunity until I left the M62 for the M66 at junction 18, some 20 miles later.’
In the time it took to drive the 20 miles, travelling at speeds between 40mph and 50mph, he had not overtaken a single pedestrian.
His question: how slow were they travelling?
