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

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 day ago

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

This should be in drivers education in Europe

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

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 21 hours 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

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

Thats confusing.
