$200 Fine if You Die Here
According to the Newcastle Tramway Authority, touching wires causes death. You probably know what sort of wires they’re talking about, so we don’t have to go too deep on that matter. However, the second part of this sign—the $200 fine—is somewhat concerning.
It’s not bad enough that someone zapped themselves to death, but on top of that, the grieving family has to fork over $200 to the government? In what world is that fair? What if you couldn’t read the sign until it was too late? By that, we mean you were already fiddling around with the wires before you saw the sign? When then?
