Distractions Whilst Driving


G'day all,

Reading "Using UHF While Driving" made me think about that bloke Due Care, he has a mate called Attention and that mate Attention can very easily be distracted by all sorts of things, changing a CD in the radio (Illegal whilst driving), looking at your passenger whilst talking (illegal whilst driving) and a myriad other activities that distract us, but what about those great big advertising bill boards that are on the side of the roads all over the place.  Isn't it about time these distractions were also illegal?

So many things we cannot do whist driving but we are permitted to look at bill boards advertising God knows what.

Yes I know it is not illegal to erect a bill board it is only illegal to look at it whilst driving the same as it is not illegal to buy a radar detector but it is illegal to use it.

Whilst I admire lust after the content of some of those ads., the sight of acres of nearly naked nubile flesh will always be a distraction. Driving or otherwise.

You know that drinking Beer with Viagara in it, only gives you a stiff neck....
I'm with you and the stiff luck bit JRH - If it wasn't for bad luck, I wouldn't have any luck at all......

Well at least something apart from my luck would be stiff, worth a try I reckon.
