Driver has creative — and pointed — reminders on NC pickup truck. People are obsessed
A North Carolina driver’s pickup truck was adorned with creative reminders — and people can’t get enough of it.
In an apparent attempt to get people to use their turning signals, the Dodge Ram was spotted in Durham with the word “blinker” written twice on its tailgate. The words pointed to the vehicle’s turn signal lights, a photo posted online shows.
And in case drivers forgot which lane to use, also written on the back of the truck were the phrases “passing lane” above a left arrow and the phrase “cruz’n lane” with an arrow pointing to the right side of the road. To complete the artistic feat, the truck also featured a peace sign, according to the picture the N.C. Department of Transportation shared July 10 on Facebook.
Within 24 hours, the post had more than 22,000 reactions, with many social media users praising the driver for nudging others to turn on their blinkers and use the left lane for passing slower traffic.
“Love it!!!!!! Gonna do this to my car,” one Facebook user wrote.
“Great bumper sticker,” another person posted on Instagram.
For their part, transportation officials gave the truck that was seen on Interstate 885 a nod for helping to keep the peace on the road.
“Let’s be real, when y’all take it up on your own to spread the word of traffic safety, it’s a win,” the NCDOT wrote, adding that the truck’s peace symbol was an “amazing” touch.
