This is fine. Amateur comedy from the Dept of Transportation isn't really adding anything to my commute. I hope they don't take away "Seat Belts and Vaccines both save lives!" though, I love the thought of that sign doubly pissing off so many of the dumbasses here.
If your local DoT was smart, they hired a young intern to write that shit. I actually know a young guy that did this for a while. Some of them were definitely charming.
But I agree, on the whole. They're just dumb and condescending most of the time.
