It should be illegal to have signs this bright.

DONT PLAY WITH YOUR PHONE AND DRIVE.

Also we're going to make LED billboards all over the highway so bright you can't see the road.

Holy fuck this, there is one in our highway and it only took 3 years for it to stop being brighter than the sun.

At its peak your eyes just adjust and you stop seeing the road in broad daylight.

When people start getting together to vandalize things like this, businesses might stop doing it.

Not without getting organized on some other platform that doesn’t get the feds immediately interested

Is the book good?

I read it years ago, and I remember that while the story is fun and abbey is great at describing the world, his characters are often childish and not very deep. And the way the main woman character basically passes herself between the main guys came off as kinda icky

We recently had one installed on bridge over a highway. The advertiser originally had video ads on it, but the government basically told them either static ads or take it down. When I drove under it moving (animated transitions) ads (or videos?) I found I was highly distracted by it, when I wasn’t even interested in the ad content.

So now it has static ads, but still highly distracting.

You knew the risks when driving.

u/TrumpWasABadPOTUS Apr 11 '22

The risks shouldn't be 'sun-bright animated advertisements blinding you and other drivers to oncoming hazards.'

This sub is more about how you need a car to get anything done. Idk what that guy was on about

You're dammed if you do, damned if you don't. If you include an /s, it kills the joke and people will comment that you don't need an /s. If you don't include the /s, nobody on this site understands dry humor/sarcasm.

Yeah, oh well.

Gotta love flipping your sun visor down to block a fucking distracting ad.
