Stop the Madness

Advertising on your radio. No, on your radio. The glaring flaw I see in the whole plan is: I don’t look at my radio for more than a second when I’m driving. And when I do, it’s because I want to see what station I’m on, so I can switch it. Irritate me further by not letting me see what I want to know, and I might never switch back.

But consumer advocates like Ralph Nader said the potential for driver distraction, not to mention irritation, could make dashboard advertising more boondoggle than boon. “Anything that keeps the eye off the road increases the risk of a crash,” Mr. Nader said in a phone interview.
