The funny thing is... the sign on the right is closer to what you should be doing.
As studied by traffic engineers, traffic as a whole DOES move faster if EVERYONE waited until the last moment to merge. So really, it's those that merge a mile ahead that berkeley it up for everyone else.
This is why sometimes you'll see these signs:
My brain according to my wife.

Cool, thanks! The taillight positioning looked more British to me, but this one might be a later model than what you linked.

This is really messing with me. I want it to be real. I'm thinking bad things about a Compact right now, using a 325iX drivetrain. I think the Compact still uses the E30 rear suspension, no?

Everytime I see a compact I want to do an engine swap. With a turbo with straight exhaust for lots of fire out the rear and BIG boxflares
and NOS
and a 27 speed transmission
That the gears are not in the same order so I shift around alot
and cut bump stops on the front so I can turn the wheel further for drifting.
but no fart can, that is for ricers.
(I am serious about the first part and last part)
In response to Keith: Yes, yes they do use E30 rear suspension setups. E30 guys like to steal the 5 lug stuff off of these, for their conversions.
How about one I've been to? USS Cario, sunk 1862 by a "torpedo" (now a mine). Preserved in the mud of the Yazoo River until the late 50's when it was found. Restored in the late 70's, today it sits outside under a massive canopy at the Vicksburg Military Park. You can do a walking tour of it, which includes most of the hardware including the steam engines. Fascinating ship.

1862 Gatling gun. Designed to reduce the number of deaths by showing how futile war was...kinda went the opposite way with that one.
