We got one of those gizmos but never got around to setting it up Should do. I love the surprise potential for screwing with people’s heads in traffic jams!

Daddy Papersurfer; Me da’s a genius. He made his own car and powers it purely with his own sense of indignation. It goes up to 187kph you know.

Is Grandad still allowed to drive? - anyway, people do seem to be getting more and more impatient - I reckon it's the fault of the interweave .......... Daddy Papersurfer´s last blog post..GROUNDBLOG DAY – DAY 1

The trouble with people who drive dangerously under such conditions is that they’ll often take someone else out when they crash. It’s really surprising it doesn’t happen more often – I agree. People drive like idiots in low visibility.

Unless, of course, they have x-ray vision. Sadly, I don’t.

Those flashing signs are very tempting!!

Trust Grandad to want to give someone the bird in LED!!

Great gadget – disappointing that you can’t choose your own messages though!

Kate – I was driving in Oldcastle yesterday and some idiot workman walked out in front of me to tell me to stop (yes, I was trying to sneak through a road closure, but hey, it was a teeny little one track lane). I had to stop suddenly and the jeep just kept going – sideways – until I hit the grass verge. Very bloody scary, I can tell you.

and isn’t good that LED’s are really inexpensive now – and that you are electronically minded – you could start taking modification orders……. mind you I think between you and Grandad you would be inciting people to road rage! Stick to the back off sign – I think I’ll just laminate one to sit permanently in my rear window!!!

You can't unfortunately - the closest thing to a useful message is the "back off" one, and that's only because of the minimal number of LED's I believe I'd have to rewire to make it say something far more appropriate!! Keiron´s last blog post..Ajax Crawling with PHP and Curl?

Waddya mean, 'if you're reading this'? Of course I'm reading this. Can you programme in rude messages? A hand with a singe/double digit would be useful? Grandad´s last blog post..I trust Tommy

For anyone wondering about the legality of one of these devices that I was bought for my birthday, I checked… All “I want One of Those” could tell me was “Yes it’s legal”, but the rules apparently are…

It has been verified by the Department of Transport and is legal for the following reasons: Messages are static, not scrolling. Is it under 165mm in diameter. It is not wired into the vehicle. Activation is passive with IR technology, not radio signals. It does not flash. It illuminates red, meeting the legal requirement of rear lights being red coloured.
