Hey, You're talking about the livelihood of one of my favorite people. And, honestly, she's a very nice lady with nice kids and grandkids and a good husband.

I think they should be ticketed for driving too slow, that's for sure.

Not defending this but it's not like these are the ONLY idiot drivers in Las Vegas. I've been cut off by other cars in Vegas and forced to slam on the brakes to avoid an accident more times in one month than over a year back in the east coast and those drivers are considered "aggressive".


I would say east coast drivers might be aggressive but Vegas drivers are flat of ignorant of their horrible driving.

I was watching the national news tonight. There was a segment on the caucuses, shot with The Strip in the background. As the news droid was yammering away, what drive by on the strip, conveniently pausing to allow easy reading, but a pair of billboard trucks with the sane escort service ad.

I got a good chuckle out of it. It was the perfect video bomb.

The difference between the rolling billboards and everyone else is that everybody else is driving for a reason... Actually getting somewhere... Or actually taking passengers around like taxis, limos, shuttles, uber, lyft...

These things are absolutely insane. How it's legal amazes me.

They slow traffic and waste gas. Should be outlawed.

No, I've seen them I NYC, trucks that are only rolling billboards.

I've seen it taken to the next step. Vans were set up with digital projectors shooting out the side,projecting ads on the buildings as the rolled by.
