You missed the "Caution: A Bannana" sign then didn't you?

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 days ago

there were three bananas before the caution sign and I slipped

Also, stop signs are ~~hexagonal~~ octagonal and yield signs triangular so you could notice them even when they're not facing you.

Edit: octagon/hexagon

Or when covered in snow or if the sign is badly damaged

This should be in drivers education in Europe

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Drivers in Europe, and I assume most of the world, do have to have several theoretical classes about driving and safety to earn their license. Is this not the case where you live?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

Yes of course. It is super rigorous. With both required extensive theoretical classes, theoretical test, required session with driving on ice, minimum hours of driving, and a driving test.

I mean't the humor for teaching it

they are, aren't they? not with a banana ofc, but I know they are categorized based on shape and color.
