OT: I did, it asked me to select traffic signs. No picture had any. Not marking anything is not an option. So I marked 2 traffic lights and a gas station sign. Accepted. :(

Even random clicking on these "select X" captchas works. You'll just get a longer run around, until AI gets bored and lets you in.

Perhaps it recognizes that being annoyed and a willful breaking of rules are also human qualities.
