Weirdly enough I read it as ‘petrol in 8 miles, but you can only get the petrol until 10pm’.
My question though is when does the petrol station open?
The clocks just went back so it’s 7 miles until 10pm now 😉
Don’t be so silly it’s telling you there are 8 people called miles waiting at the next petrol station after 10 who knows could be more or less
It is actually saying that petrol is in 8 miles, but you can only drive forward until 10pm. After 10pm you must reverse there.
It is 12.8km away after 10pm, since [it was recently announced](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ) that the country would switch to the metric system during night hours.
Basic science, heat makes things expand, so probably only 7 miles at night.
The filling station is 8 miles away, and you will get there at 10 pm. The speed limit is calculated depending on the time of day, ensuring that you reach the filling stations at precisely 10 pm.
I like the “hidden dip” signs. I always think, “I wonder if it’s guacamole?”
Ah the A9, the road that kills decent times coming up from England.
Glad I rarely have to go down that far any more
Without an after time also it’s about as useful as telling you not to feed a Mogwai after midnight.
Slightly off topic, but you can just about see the now closed down and abandoned Subway shop in the background. I’ve driven this road a thousand times from Glasgow to the North East and it always struck me as really weird and out of place.
Further. At 10pm the filling station 8 miles beyond this sign is required to exhibit signage specifying where and when the next available option can be located.
Light-years are a measure of distance.
Are petrol-miles a measure of time?
