The dramatically spinning car is how I read the sign, especially combined with what appears to be a straight road in the background (although we can't tell if there's a bend afterwards it looks like extremely straight)
Easy to clear up (by Australian/NZ folks), do these show up on straightaways? Are they mirrored to indicate which direction the bend is going to be?

could be:
- pointing to and suggesting the other wheel on the right side, more like materialising an envelope of the skid marks instead of realistic skid marks themselves
- stylisation of the overall 180 rotation, emphasising the overall spin out of control movement
- mkl 3y ago(NZ here) The signs don't get mirrored. They could show up on straight roads, but are much more common in places with corners. I've always interpreted it as a cartoony car version of what your legs do when slipping on ice - sliding out from under you in random directions.
