Anglersvista   10 #135 Posted February 20, 2014 Or use your sun visor to block out the light from the sign, like you do the sun...not really rocket science is it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Agent Orange   11 #137 Posted February 20, 2014 This claim really is absurd. I wonder where the letter of complaints went after the highways officials had a good laugh? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Solomon1   10 #138 Posted February 20, 2014 (edited) What I think is the matter is that when they switch ads it makes you refocus and takes your mind off driving. Incar TVs are illegal as they can be distracting yes roadside are not. The ad I don't like at the moment is the one with a black background and green text as it makes it really hard to focus, even if it's in the side of your eye view  I agree  ---------- Post added 20-02-2014 at 16:17 ----------  Yes but using an LED board the colours are much brighter and in your face at night. During the day I have no issues with it  Agreed also.  It's a problem with certain ads, at night time, with the street lights out on that section of road  ---------- Post added 20-02-2014 at 16:20 ----------  Using a sun visor to block the sun  Just ignore the trolls TBD  Rootsbooster is just after a fight, not interested in other people's reality  You can put people on an 'ignore' list if you wish, by going into your control panel...  It's proven very useful on this thread  ---------- Post added 20-02-2014 at 16:21 ----------  This claim really is absurd. I wonder where the letter of complaints went after the highways officials had a good laugh?  It's gone to the Head of Transport AO, thanks for asking Edited February 20, 2014 by Solomon1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Very mature.  I am sure the head of transport is taking pity on you right now. He might write back to you suggesting you should remove all light bulbs and any other remotely bright objects from your home, to avoid any temporary distraction/blindness.

maggidee   10 #143 Posted February 21, 2014 the sign is not half as annoying as people not useing the overtaking lane on the , coisley hill parkway link,instead of backing up to prince of wales road,thats what its for then filter in, you get the i wont let you in brigade but just filter , makes me laugh they let a police car in when they see them or blue light same in am backlog from roundabout use the right hand lane and filter,if you pas a 13 or 14 plate new car they let you in because they are frightend to get it scratched,and dont wont to run in to the back of your car as that would be them at fault for following to close Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Anglersvista   10 #144 Posted February 21, 2014 Solomon probably won't read that, he blocks most people that don't agree with his point of view, in a way I suppose he's blinkered, which would have helped when he was driving past the dazzling billboard.
