Billboards that distract you while driving

[Jack Bauer]

I saw a billboard for The CW's upcoming Nikita series (seen here)

And it really caught my eye to the point where it distract my attention from driving.

What billboards have you seen that cause you to lose your focus while driving?

Looks like they are channelling some of the fashion plate of the asian version of the X-(wo)Man Psylocke there....interesting.

Me and a friend were driving along near where I live, when we saw this stupidly large billboard stuck on the side of a building with the words "Have you been injured in a vehicle accident that wasn't your fault?" along with contact details for some ambulance chasers. My friend, quick as a flash, pulled over, took his mobile phone out and called the number. When he got through, he said to the phone monkey on the other end; "I understand you deal with injury claims involving vehicles, is that right?", "That's correct, sir", came the reply. To which my friend said, "Well, I was driving along when I got distracted by your ridiculously large billboard, and crashed into the car in front of me. Can I make a claim?". They hung up.

Hubby once rolled through a red light, distracted by a billboard showing significant boobage on a pretty girl. Fortunately, there were no other cars around.

He's normally not distracted like that, but he's definitely a breast man. Thank God (cause my butt and legs aren't as good).

Any of those digital LED ones that change every seven seconds. Do we really need five or six different ads sharing the same billboard?

And that new Nikita chick looks pretty hot, whoever she is. But she'll never replace Peta Wilson.

I always find the most annoying and distracting billboards to be the ones that have some random picture and say "You Just Proved Advertising Worked!"

Yeah, when you a have a huge picture of a tiger on a billboard in the middle of farm country, of course it's going to draw my attention.

Not a billboard, but there was a totally hot, very nicely-dressed, girl walking by as I was driving earlier today, and I ended up veering a bit towards the middle of the road while checking her out. It probably didn't help my car control that I was also eating a baguette sandwich at the same time. There's only so much multi-tasking a guy can be expected to do!

Today I remembered another billboard that distracted me last year. It was one of those electronic ones that change every few seconds. The ad was almost completely white and it was so bright the glare from the rear view mirror was almost blinding. It was so freaking irritating.

And that new Nikita chick looks pretty hot, whoever she is.
