SIGN CONFUSION |
Learner K. had a strange habit. The instructor would pick K. up for the regular lesson, no problem. They drove from K's house onto the main road and accelerated normally up to 40 kilometers per hour.
After reaching this speed, however, it would take another three kilometers before K. reached the reasonable cruising speed of 50 kilometers per hour.
The driving instructor started to question, why the learner was confidently reaching speed 40, then take what seemed ages to reach 50 km/h?
It took until the third time before he figured out this very unusual accelerating method. Looking up he saw what the problem was:
The numbers on the sign - Bus stop 40, Bus Stop 41, Bus Stop 42 ...
Hey, but full marks for observation and obeying speed limits ... !
