Wish I could put such a sign on my own car, just to deter all these guys from staying on my tail on the highway...

couldn't get the image to work, so I played with the code. See if this works.

Unless you are talking about putting a red X on the car I can't see the pic

It looks like the infamous red X has striken again ! But you two are the first to have problems with this picture or maybe the 55 other viewers have been to shy (or lazy) to point this out

Well I went back to cut and paste the link into my browser and it worked. Then when I went back to your thread it is visible. Somehow the direct image link isn't working until you actually visit the link.

Very strange these electronic "gizmos", I had to right click and " view image" before I could see the image.Now the image is on your thread, strange strange strange!
Anyway I think along with the sign you need the vehicle to back it up. :-) :-)

Guys,
Might have been a server issue as I open this message and all images worked right away.
BTW, great pic there

I see what y'all mean, same thing happened to me, as soon as I visited the page I can see the pic... I wouldn't mind having one of those myself.[url=http://image20.webshots.com/21/5/81/71/233458171UEbBkL_ph.jpg[/url]

Of course at 50 meters you wouldn't be able to read the sign...

Somehow, I think these signs are serious because I saw a much larger one on the side of a 5-Ton guntruck too in almost the exact same format. The photographer that took the pic was a good 15-20m away and the sign read clearly.
I don't have the link to the photo though.
Wouldn't hurt to mount such a sign, I suppose, and doubt they're meant as a joke.
