Lots of car posts today… John writes –
“Here are instructions (and pre-compiled PDF) for making an automotive message book. It fits in the glove box and has 14 standard large-font messages printed forward and reverse (for reading in mirrors) like “Your tire is flat”, “Your high beams are on” or even, simply, “Sorry.” I’ve wanted an in-car LCD for this purpose for years, but there’s something appealing about a simple DIY analog solution to the problem.
I’ve also included my source material to encourage others to modify the booklet to suit their needs.” – Link.

Has anybody made this for cyclists? I live in Brussels, where there are very few cyclists, but we are growing in number and we are almost always faster than the cars… I would soooo much like to have leds on my bike that says this to the cars…
*Please be patient – I am faster than you :-)
!i!i!i

clearly inspired by the road rage cards from t-shirt hell.
This is great, but i would say something that start road rage!
In the early ’80’s there was an analog sign called ‘The High Sign’ for communicating with other drivers. My Mom had one in our old Volvo station wagon.
notatoad – wow. Wow. Actually I had no idea about the road rage cards. Which is disturbing, since they are really spitting images of each other. I guess I’m *not* the only one who thought it was a good idea. In my defense, I’ve had my copy in the car since mid-2005, so I really didn’t copy them. But still. Wow.
The Big Flipper – My father used to have one of these. ;)
