Coming To A Freeway Near You (maybe)…
November 11, 2008
There are 600-plus electronic billboards that line
Not that we couldn’t use the spare change as our State is currently in a fiscal budget free-fall. The Governor has called for a special legislative meeting to figure out how
But the question is: Is having electronic billboards flashing advertising in your face while driving a good idea? I’m thinking that this kind of distraction is not a good idea. If it is now illegal to drive in California while talking on a handheld telephone—because of increased accidents—how much more are drivers likely to take their eyes off the road at 65mph (or let’s face it: 70-80 mph) to get the latest eye-catching pitch for Bud Light, or something?
Personally, I would say to the Gov., “Don’t even go there.”
What are your thoughts? Is the potential advertising $income worth the potential trade-off of more driver distraction?
