| Falling Rock Signs with vehicles shown are typical for the Americas
and widespread in Latin-American countries. We've found them (e.g.)
in Mexico, Chile
and Guatemala but it's in Argentina that cars are drawn
with the most precision. The car is often shown equipped with a rear-view mirror
and back-lights and a driver is at the wheel. Even the differential is shown
sometimes ! (It's located in the center
between the wheels of the car left. Hope that helps.)
The number of boulders varies widely, from 7 to 42, as many as
in Ecuador and only beaten by
the Philippines with 45. |

There are some peculiarities asking for our attention.
Take a look at the lights. The last car carries only one at each side, down from three !
We are on the way towards a simpler car without any (or perhaps only optional) lights.
Once again a clear case where cost is more a concern than safety.
I'm a bit unsure about the driver. The first car features a person but this
is far less sure with the other samples. If what we see at the driver's position is
a head (which is unnaturally inflated) then the person (center) is far too short and probably
unable to drive safely. Are we looking then at the top of a seat? Not likely because
in that case I would expect two spheres. |
