    One of the joys of learning languages is getting to be equally annoyed at anglophones thinking ending words in “o” and “a” is hilarious and at Spanish speakers thinking that adding “ing” to random words counts as English.

        Igual que los “yankees” con el “a/o”, y funciona igual de mal.

      I also learned that whole idea of German inherently being a harsh language is bs, it’s basically just cultural associations and actors deliberately talking harshly.

    I wonder if that could be construed as intent to drive recklessly. Kinda like “beware of dog” signs.

      Probably not, as decals warning not to pass on the right of semi trailers are common, this one just happens to be kind of spicy (‘passing side’/‘suicide’ is another humorous one that you see around). The warning doesn’t imply any sort of recklessness on the part of the truck driver-- they make wide right turns and stupid people sometimes try to pass them on the right while they do so.

      I thought beware of dog signs were to cover your ass if you have an aggressive dog or to just keep people off your property.

      My neighbor regularly brought her granddaughter to my yard to play and visit my dogs without my consent and didn’t stop when I asked her to. I got a beware of dog sign and she got the hint. My dogs aren’t aggressive or anything. I just don’t want her to sue me if her granddaughter gets hurt on my property.
