If this is legal, then wouldn’t it be legal for the businesses to also shine their own spotlights onto the track to dazzle the drivers that might be looking up at their business.
- tzs 3y agoShining a light toward something like a restaurant is annoying but is probably not dangerous. Shining a light toward race cars probably is. That might greatly change the legality.
- trillic 3y agoThe hotels should demand $5000 per head for those who look at their driver blinding lights. No free lights for you F1!
- NBJack 3y agoWould be super interesting to see an arms race on this. 5000W bulb from the track vs. a concave mirror bouncing it back in such a way that it would mess with the drivers? Whom would then start wearing polarized glasses as they filtered the light? Honestly, it is starting to sound like a missing chapter from the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
- Aerroon 3y agoWell, you wouldn't be shining it towards race cars. You'd be shining it at the track/back towards the light that's shining on you.
- qubex 3y agoHow about these venues threaten to shine a 3000 watt light on paying viewers instead? I mean seriously, this is inane. The precedent must not be set.
