Don't drive out!

in distinctivesigns •  7 years ago  (edited)

It took us some time during our travels in Australia to come to grips with the concept of a drive-in bottle-shop.

This was the first sign of this type we saw, in Alice Springs. Does it really mean you can have a drink sitting in your car? Hopefully not! And we never found a 'Drive out drunk' arrow so we think we figured this out...

I could get used to that.

Thanks for feedback. Following you now, seen your roadtrips, you might enjoy mine through Australia and on to NZ!

Drive through bottle shops are becoming rarer due to the OHS and workplace rules but no you can't actually drink it the drive through just pick up some grog. I was very suprised you could buy beer at fuel stations in the USA.

And they're cold too, since in some states you can actually drink in the car, though the driver theoretically has to be under the limit...

I was suprised to learn in some states it was Also illegal for the cops to breath test you. Don't know if that's still true.

I love it! The one I used to have near my place closed and they're becoming a bit of a relic in NSW. I was very excited to find them alive and well in other parts of the country. I love your content. Definitely going to read more when I get back to the land of wifi.

Surprised you found this old post! I haven't had anyone posting to my tag for a while, guess there's not that many interesting signs out there!

Where are you now? We were really surprised in Oz that we didn't have good wifi most of the time. I had a hard time convincing my wife that every time she opened facebook on her iPad the videos her friends posted drained all our bandwidth almost immediately. So Roadtrip Rule #8 (Oz-specific) - I check emails, then she opens iPad lol!

Hope you enjoy my posts when you do get to them.

Congratulations @brightongreg , we r much excited to know about it, wonderful job you have done.

This is a unique idea...Love the sign!

The idea of my signs fun challenge, or - I assume - the idea of a drive-in bottle shop? If as you've told me they don't have bottle shops where you are would they even consider doing this?

Probably not...drive-in tortilla stand, perhaps. lol

Maybe you should start one up - I'm sure a few of us would invest in your company if you do go ahead lol!

I dont think I have ever come acoss a drive through Liquor store either
I kind of suspect there must be some here have seen drive through for just about everything else

Suspect you're right, laws generally much looser where you are than here though I have run across the odd dry county!

I have even been to dry countries, got in and out as quick as I could LOL, unless of course we had out own store :)

It probably means "Get your trunk full of drinks and then drink all at home" :-D

I'm sure it does, but it sure looks odd the first time you see it lol!

Yes, really weird somehow :-D

Oh oh i would Love this, ask when their coming to sweden😉😀
