For anyone who still doesn't understand just how little safety oversight we have over motor vehicles in the US, I present to you Exhibit A: the Variable Messaging Digital Billboard Box Truck.

People, it flashes and scrolls. Just like a billboard. Except it's a truck.

whyyyyyyy?

@DrTCombs I guess I see a reasonable use case to drive to parking lots of big events where people are walking to a from their car and possibly tailgating, but not everyday use.

@jumbanho and definitely not all lit up and scroll-y while it's driving to said event.

@DrTCombs Yeah, scrolling signs on highways definitely need banning.
