Especially if what happened to this young Lancashire man is anything to go by. He was fined after pleading guilty to driving while ‘able to see directly or by reflection a TV receiving apparatus used to display something other than information about the state of the vehicle or its equipment, or about the location of the vehicle and the road on which it was located, or to assist the driver to see the road adjacent to the vehicle or to assist the driver to reach his destination.’
I was watching Asda adverts as I drove past a Cheshire Constabulary building this morning.
These adverts were on what I thought was an Asda delivery van but then decided must have been one of these:
A van with three big TV screens, one on each side and one on the back showing ads - in my case moving (literally moving pictures moving along the road) ads for Asda.
That is Top Gear's attempt at putting James Bond technology (cameras & TV screens) onto a van to make it appear invisible. Richard Hammond is driving it but, of course, you can't see him.
Looking for those picture did lead me to several others that made we wonder about the drivers of actual Asda delivery vans.
This one trusted his sat-nav too much:
This one had to be rescued after going down a slipway to turn around:
But this one is my favourite - getting stuck after attempting a three-point turn in a too-narrow road.
So what about Adsa customers?
I can't decide if this is brilliant or stupid. The car-park was full of cars belonging to people doing their Christmas shopping:
