Have you ever been driving/riding/cowering in the trunk down the highway and seen one of those big, light-up signs? "DON'T DRINK AND DRIVE" they proclaim, distracting you and causing you to rear-end the Prius in front of you. What is up with those things?
Okay, so let's say you're on the freeway, driving, and completely hammered. And then you see the sign! Oh crap! What exactly are you supposed to be doing in this situation? You're already driving! Do they want you to pull over and sleep in your car until you sober up? I don't think that's a good idea. Or legal for that matter.
Okay, let's say you aren't drunk, but you're on your way to a bar. You see the sign and what do you do? You can't just not go to the bar. Your friends and/or hookers are waiting for you! So you go to the bar anyway and a few hours later you're drunk out of your mind? You're about to get in your car, but then you remember that sign on the highway. Unfortunately, you can't remember what exactly the sign said, and you're too blitzed to care. So you get in your car and rear-end the Prius in front of you.
Who's idea was this?
They should put the signs in parking lots instead. Or in front of bars.
