Don't use a cellphone while driving, read this billboard instead:
In the two years since it became illegal in the District to talk on a cellphone while driving, the city has slapped 19,000 tickets on motorists for violating the law. Yet no one believes the law has had much impact on the practice of chatting while holding a handset.So the city has decided to try another way to send the message about distracted driving: Billboards. Billboards you look up at while you are ... driving.Forty-three billboards scattered across the city will announce that "Distracted Drivers Kill!" and display complicated logos that appear to show things you ought not handle while driving -- a cellphone, a fast-food meal and something to do with makeup.
You just can't make this stuff up. Via The Agitator.
