HOARDINGS ON THE MAIN ROADS.......A DISTRACTION AND A TRAFFIC CASUALITY.

The resurfacing of huge banners or advertising sign-boards on the main roads and that too a long stretch of them at times is a self invited casualty on the roads where road-rage and uncivilised driving has become a trademark. Its quite foolish not to assume that it does not distract drivers.

A simple ad. which I may be interested in e.g. to apply for a builders flats will compel me to look closely towards the hoarding to see the name of the builder or other detail address, or an insurance policy which I may be interested in for its minute beneficial points.

I therefore do not agree to the point that it does not cause any distraction. Quite disbelieving the fact is the stand taken by the honourable court to allow it once again after imposing a ban on it at one time. Sometimes non-application of sound mind considering the practicalities of the situation does more injustice than the degree of "Right to do", as enshrined in the constitution and as interpreted by the court.
