    Technically, a lot of states do ban driving distractions which this obviously is.

    But I’m sure that it’ll have to be decided in court or in amendment to current legislation to carve out/specify that this actually counts as that.

    In the state I’m from, underbody light kits are illegal for use on public roads because they’re a driving distraction and you actually can’t use LED signs and so on for the same reason.

    That being said I’d also like this to apply to billboards. LED billboards should be outlawed.

      Too bad :)

      Around here, the police could stop the vehicle and then not let it drive even 1 more meter.

      The driver gets fined (which the company probably pays), the freight may be loaded to another vehicle, this vehicle must be repaired to a road safe state, then certified by the appropriate agency before it can drive again - or they can carry it home and do it all there.
