Not all drivers can recognize road signs, survey finds

A recent survey reveals that not all drivers can recognize and understand different road signs despite having their licenses for many years. 

Myvision.org surveyed more than 1,060 drivers about road signs and other distractions they face when behind the wheel. The survey was conducted in July 2022. Participants were between 18 and 84 years old. The average age was 41 with respondents having had their licenses for 25 years.

These folks would have a hell of a time passing their written test in Germany where there's not only a sign for every occasion but they also have signs leading up to every occasion. There's a sign telling you there's a railroad crossing 300 meters ahead, one for a crossing 200 meters ahead, another for the crossing 100 meters up the road and then of course, the sign saying the crossing is right fucking here.
Seriously, go HERE to see for yourself.

I remember when I was stationed in Germany and had to take my driving test so I could drive military vehicles on the road. I was seriously sweating the written part of it and I grew up in Germany.
