Up here in Western New York, there is a road sign on a three lane hill (two up, one down). The sign reads: USE BOTH LANES. After ten years living here, I am yet to be on that hill when a police officer is nearby. I have always wanted to USE BOTH LANES and be cited for it. I can't wait to explain to the judge that Rule #34 applies: WORDS MEAN THINGS. We also have another sign, SPEED ZONE AHEAD. The way I see it, I should be able to speed up.
