Was the trainer joking?

Speed low observe warning
Surely, slow just means slow?

i just googled it and saw "sharks lions and wolves" but seriously, the trainer did reel off the acronym and even said it was one, i was really impressed as it was something i had never knew before or heard of, but due to all the info they were throwing at us i forgot its meaning... lol

Thankyou GRASSCARP.... yes that's it... Speed Low Observe Warning! :-)
Well, I think that's daft! How can an acronym for slow be speed low observe warning? It just means slow. I think he/she dreamed that one up.

she said it with all good intentions and i think she was serious... from sitting through a very informative 4 hour course this morning, i thought it was quite impressive!!
I still think it's daft. An acronym is supposed to be a simple word that reminds you of something totally different. In fact, I think it's rubbish!

Did you know
SLOW painted on the road stands for, Speed Low Observe Warning. At least one person will have been involved in a SERIOUS road collision for SLOW signs to be painted on the road surface. (It’s not pro–active!)

Tilly, just out of curiosity do you drive?
It's not very well advertised is it?
