Fed up with being trapped behind slow moving caravans (campers/winnebagos)? Well, with the advent of large panel TV's, how about requiring all caravans to hang one in their back window and play videos of movies.
With the time I've spent behind these abominations I could easily have watched an average
feature film on many occasions. To be really friendly the owner could paint their mobile phone no. on the back of the 'van and you could dial-up to get them to show your favourite film.
Well it's better than staring at those nice floral print curtains for hours...suggestions for suitable videos?

How about a driving safety awareness film? Bone.. |

Just don't show the four-hour director's cut of the Big Blue, or the entire column of traffic behind you will fall asleep and crash in a bloody fireball. This also applies to Days of Heaven. |

I can see myself ending up in Des Moines just because I was trying to catch the end of some film. |

Half-baked. On a trip home from vacation, I was stuck behind a van that had one of those in-car LCD panels for the kiddoes to watch. Through the rear window of their van, you could see they were watching the old Looney Tunes cartoon with Bugs Bunny as a matador. I found it to be rather entertaining. |

Back in my day, we made signs:

My version: cars should have a movie projector installed in the grille, which would show the driver/passengers the movie projected on the back of that caravan. The sound and all the controls are in the car of those actually watching the movie. Added bonus: if you get cut off by a Mack truck, you just get a bigger, better screen for your movie. |

You could broadcast the audio over a short range FM radio
transmitter. |

Sounds cool, but surely there's some safety issues... if crashes are caused by mobile phone conversations, how are you gonna pay attention to the brake lights of the truck, or the road signs if you're engrossed in the middle of 'shallow hal' or whatever, let alone the reaction instinct in any chase scene! |
