Daren,
I believe you just met Bot Pease, a staff scientist at National.
He has a regular column in _Electronic_Design_ magazine. Try
snagging a copy of the mag at Intel. There is a picture of him with
the column. I believe that Bob carries a set of these signs around
with him in his bug. If it was him, you were added to an annual tally
of cars that he encounters without brake lights.
He also lists a postal address to reach him at National, if you
wish to inquire further...
