Police cracking down on distracted drivers

Saw this in the Herald Tribune news today. I just had to laugh when I read this. Don't they realize that waving signs on Kamehameha Avenue is just as distractive to drivers as cell phones???

Hint: It's not about safety. It's a revenue stream.

If it's for revenue, it's going to Honolulu. IIRC, all our traffic fine money goes to the state treasury.

"the Hawaii Police Department’s Traffic Services Section organized a sign-waving event on Kamehameha Avenue in Hilo on Monday to remind motorists about the dangers of distracted driving"

That is pretty funny!

But will they notice?

The greatest irony will be when someone posts a video of the sign wavers taken with their cell phone as they drive by...
