Car Headlamp Text Control
 
(+1, -1) 		  [vote for,

       We have a crazy number of vehicle hijackings here, and that might be partly due to steady improvement in technologies protecting stationary vehicles, so this aspect has that double-edged-blade quality one finds in weapons. (16 000 murders a year make those hijackings a bit scarier than the ones on Grand Theft Auto).   

       So why is nobody doing this? I go look ...
