It’s pretty weird that we allow advertising to attempt to distract you while you’re doing the most dangerous thing you generally do daily: driving.

- datadata 4y agoIronically there are even billboards about how other distractions like texting while driving kills.
- oehpr 4y agoThere is literally a billboard on the highway in British Columbia that is a pair of skidmarks descending into a valley with large font that says "KEEP YOUR EYES ON THE ROAD". During the night this sign is lit like a christmas tree, very bright. I could never get over how difficult it was to ignore that stupid billboard every time I crossed it.
- exodust 4y agoSometimes they contain too much information to read as you're driving by, other times they are simple but annoying like this one: https://mumbrella.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/Ashley-Madison-Billboard-Sydney-mumbrella.jpg https://mumbrella.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/Ashley-M... But what I find the worst these days are ultra-bright large LED screens. At night they are blindingly bright. One in particular in my area installed at a shopping plaza, is so bright I need to look away when walking by. Its "ad light" floods the whole area.
