"Saab vs. Segway"

from New Jersey getting a ticket from a Police Officer on a Segway. I had to snap some photos!!

Was the ticket for parking so close to a pedestrian crossing ?

Sheesh - those Segway things are real? I read something in an Australian electronics mag about them some years ago but I've never seen one here in Australia. I didn't think they actually existed but just the other day there was a movie on one of the Foxtel channels in which one of the characters was riding around on a Segway. Very wierd but the concept sounds brilliant.

Graham,

There was a sign there not to park, I think that was it too.

Did you like my graphic design work, etc?

I lived a couple of blocks from there for several years. There are no legal parking places in DC, just some that are a little less illegal than others.

Laura K,

Really? That's interesting! Where are you now?

Ever heard of Dupont Circle?

SG

I thought almost everyone had heard of Dupont Circle !

I'm now in Knoxville, TN. I Lived in DC for about 25 years, in Foggy Bottom, Georgetown, Mt. Pleasant and then bought a house in PG county. Only had a car the last few years.

Over here ( UK ) we have sort of chevron markings 30 ft ? either side of the crossing to make it obvious where you shouldn't park.

What font is that ? It looked quite convincing.

Graham

Those living in the US maybe - I've never heard of it. 8-)

Craig.

I've just heard it mentioned in films.

Graham

Interesting. I am often near 17th NW and eye or K and frquently get on street parking.

Graham,

Gil Sans, what else? That's the current Saab font.

SG

Malcolm,

So you must be part of the D.C. Saab club WASSAAB? You know that that exists right?

I made it to the Saab Owners Gathering in Vermont from D.C., did you make it up there too?

SG

Graham,

What films??

*snicker* for some reason whenever I see someone on a segway the thought that pops into my mind is "what a tool" I can't help it, they just look so retarded.

Well I've lived in the US my whole life and I've never heard of it either.

Thanks. Didn't know that.

Graham

I can't place it exactly. Think action suspense thriller involving the White House.

Graham

there too?

No. when in that part of DC I am either on business or at my clun at 17 and Eye for lunch or whatever.
