On the approach to the city centre of Sydney a few years back the authority put up a road closures notice in two parts. It was impossible to take it all in, as it alternated from one part to the next, without taking your eyes off the road. Muggins here was driving his recently restored Maserati V8 Quattroporte, and yes you can see it coming, at that critical moment the car in front stopped! Just as well I had insurance.
Very, very embarrassing. One moment drive and the next scared oops pantsdown
