Default Cali license plates might go digital, show ads

heard it on the radio today..

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100621/...license_plates

The California Legislature is considering a bill that would allow the state to begin researching the use of electronic license plates for vehicles. The move is intended as a moneymaker for a state facing a $19 billion deficit.
The device would mimic a standard license plate when the vehicle is in motion but would switch to digital ads or other messages when it is stopped for more than four seconds, whether in traffic or at a red light. The license plate number would remain visible at all times in some section of the screen.
In emergencies, the plates could be used to broadcast Amber Alerts or traffic information.
Talk about distractions... I'm already over distracted by those Spearmint Rhino or Hawaii Show Girls billboards.. I almost rear ended cars so many times and once almost drove off the freeway checking out those Billboards on the 60 West passing Fairway.

imagine every plate start going off in traffic, gonna be information overload


LEGALIZATION is still the only way to go

F*cking horrible idea. Yeah, let's put some more distractions on the road as if California doesn't have enough already.

We don't have any lawmakers that can come up with better ways to make money such as selling crack to kids and legalizing prostitution?
