I used to be reasonable at hitting letterboxes with empty beer bottles from the car window. :shit::shit:

[caspernz]

You could be drunk and still hit a sign that size...but I suppose you gotta start somewhere :innocent:

Rural areas are full of shotgunned road signs. The frustration of failed hunters perhaps?

Nah, just six-fingered slack-jawed mouth-breathing cretins trying to show off that they know which end of a gun the projectile comes from...a shame they succeed.

You are of course dead right, but what worries me is that most signs have single point holes in them - often quite large single holes...
Unless the shotgun toting yokels are using solid ammo in shotgun shells, there are some large caliber rifles out there in shaky hands which worries me a tad...
We've already had a spent .22 come in through a window and rattle round my wife's sewing room - while she was in there....

Try Mark Brooks or Russell B. If he's got a running CB350,the only bit of value may be the crank....

I remember one night having a few rather large pumpkins in the back of a Datsun 1600 & dropping them out the door at 100k & watching them spool up until centrifugal force caused them to explode.
The simple entertainment of youth, must be close to thirty years ago now.
The chap that was driving has been sitting around drinking piss with me tonight. Still tight after all this time.

Sometimes though, you have to admit, the sign was fucking well asking for it...

Refer above comment about size of holes :shit: I hope this was solid slugs out of a shotty, otherwise the Kaingaroa boys are packing some serious heat.

When young and dumb and in the company of three similar teenagers many years ago, we found ourselves on a country road near the Oamaru airport one night. Found a road sign and it must have offended us somehow as we decided to pull it down. Being the tallest I was nominated to jump and try and grap the pointy part of the sign to pull it down with leverage (because we paid attention during physics at school). I couldn't quite get my hands over top of the sign though so in the end we invoked plan B and just pushed it over. On inspection of our trophy I was a little shocked to find a whole lot of nails (or similar) sitcking out of the top of the sign ... presumably to stop birds roosting on it. Damned lucky I didn't manage to get my tender pink fingers over the sign as I reckon I would have been left attached to the sign for some time and probably screaming like a girlie. I think that was the night I first started to grow up a bit.

I have the same story, just bloodier :nya:

I was a passenger in a B-train that mowed down a large corner arrow sign on the OTHER side of the road one night.
The unit was loaded a bit light in the front, driver was bit tired. He entered a set of downhill corners a tad fast and locked up the drive wheels with retarder in wet.
To his credit he did some seriously good driving after the fact to save it and we didn't realise where the trailers had gone till we stopped up the road for a rest break and saw the rims caked full of mud.
Apart from the fact the fecker was towing my trailers and cut the curtain open that's the best thing I've seen thrown at a road sign. Going north seeing the tyre marks the next night was a holy hell moment...
It must have looked bloody impressive as the light truck in front of us that we were closing in on sideways spewed oil smoke out his exhaust as he gassed it to get out of the way.
Said driver has now left the country chasing some exotic euro-skirt....

For someone who is quick to jump to the defence of any shit house truck drivers on the road, you sure have a lot of stories about shit house truck drivers on the road.

Oh he was a good driver (the recovery proved that) and a real nice chap but made a simple mistake at a crucial moment compounded by other factors.
Its like Rastus says, its the average joes who crash, all it takes is the slightest error...
