I have a question for the DMV

Arrow 16 inches, numbers 8 inches

Last fall I failed the vision test to renew my driver's license. I hadn't had my vision checked in a couple of years so I went to the doctor, got a new prescription and then passed the test easily. However, something about it all has been nagging at me so today with the sun out and not much to do I went about asking this question of the Department of Motor Vehicles: Why if the lettering on road signs is THIS BIG …

Letters 4 1/2 inches

Letters 10 1/2 inches

Letters 8 inches

Letters 8 inches, numbers 13 inches

Letters 7 inches

Big enough

This one could be bigger.

Letters 8 inches

… do I have to be able to read the fine print at the bottom of an insurance policy?   Please put your response in the comments section.
