    But let’s put up more flashy billboards next to the road for you to read while you drive!

    I swear, billboards should be illegal. Both for the distraction they are, and the utter eyesore. Hopefully mainly a US thing. That and traffic signs that have a whole paragraph that you’ll never be able to read safely

    Fuck a pledge, it’s the law! We have statue that makes driving while phoning illegal…what we would need is actual enforcement!

    I think this is fine. If you get hit and killed by a distracted driver it may not be your fault but you’re still dead.
