        @BernardKeane Advertising signs a more of a distraction. What about road signs. Phones are a bigger distraction.

        @JulianBurnside @BernardKeane figures. I find them the most powerful reminders of our mortality. Certainly more than any public ad campaign.

        @BernardKeane Driving without being able to view any "distractions" is going to put most people in a dangerous trance induced by boredom.
