Kit from Austin spotted this vigilante service vehicle during a road trip through Colorado…

And although the photo below was taken in Toronto, I’d like to imagine the message was scrawled in lipstick by a frustrated passenger just before passing the car above.

Ugh. I hope that van in the first picture at least abides by the 5-mph-over rule. I’m not sure I could stop myself when my road rage combines with my grammar rage.

So amazing. These kinds of coincidences only happen once in a life time.

I like how the word “learn” is underlined. Twice.

I think I passed this minivan. I was permissively obeying the speed limit. But then I just got fed up with waiting for the punchline.
If my passing you, my speeding… does what?

I’d want to speed too if it meant I didn’t have to read that ridiculously self-righteous slogan. The misuse of “your” is just the icing on the passive aggressive cake.

Why don’t cars have those scrolling digital displays as a feature? Being able to have something like, “Anyone driving a red van is an anal-retentive asshole. Honk if you agree!” scrolling across your bumper as you pass this guy would be more precious to me than heated seats on a cold winter’s morn’.

They forgot the comma: If your passing, me your speeding.
It’s a love note from minivan Tarzan.

The owner of that van probably thinks the world has gone to hell because of all the people flipping him/her off. Love it.

If you’re passing third grade, you know the difference between “you’re” and “your.”

So, you don’t want speeders to pass you? Won’t that sort of suck when their cars slam into the back of your Moronmobile?

Fail. The reply should have been “learn to punctuate”. There are no spelling mistakes.

The car in the second photo could belong to the dean of a Canadian Spelling College.

That’s about the best way to keep from being the car-pool parent I’ve ever seen.
If “your” a parent who is a publicly self-proclaimed functional illiterate, “your” not going to drive my child around.

i think the white ribbon is the PAN icing on the cake next to the sign. It’s like, “if you’re passing me, then i interpret that as an aggressive act against women because I am a woman driver. I will be reporting your sexist ass to the relevant authorities!”

It’s a bit like the bumper sticker that says “If you can read this, you’re too close.” My ex- was really bad for tailgating, though; I could usually read who had printed the sticker.

Oh, Pops, I’m not just passing you. I’m planning to dart back into your lane after I barely clear your front bumper. Then I’m going to tap the brakes and laugh as your stupid be-flagged Mercury Villager (which was made in Korea, by the way) spins out into the median.

Why would anyone want to attract such negativity to themselves?
If I had seen that van, I would’ve followed a few car lengths behind and watched the excitement ensue.
People here are Serious about their speeding. Just try to drive from Austin to San Marcos on one of the back roads and go less than 10mph over the speed limit.
People will practically shove you into the shoulder so they can pass.
I can’t even imagine the apoplectic fits those people would have when they see that smug message and are denied the chance to pass.

I feel sorry for the minivan driver.
That rusty tow hitch suggests that he hasn’t had a Saturday out on the bass boat for a while.

You know, matt, I keep forgetting that men don’t care about violence against women and therefore never put those stickers on their cars…

It looked like someone spent a lot of time getting those yellow letters aligned just right. Is the difference between “your” and “you’re” really that difficult to understand?

Wow. If I saw that vehicle on the road, I would speed and pass them JUST for their nerve! And bad grammar. Might even road rage them a bit, too, just for the hell of it. And I normally REFUSE to ride people’s butts! But everyday citizens who try to “enforce” the speed limit really get on my nerves. You’re not the police, buddy–calm down, and mind your own business!
