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!

Not every driver will take this "pledge"

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.

I wonder how many people got killed getting through that post.
