The city of Key West might be the first in a wave of jurisdictions nationwide to severely regulate or outright ban LED advertising trucks.

One thing that caught my eye under the Don't list was

Hire any drivers under the age of 60

That's strange, any idea why that is?

The tone of the article, and the rest of the website, was mildly snarky. I didn't want to get involved in it in my article, but the folks at Sparks seemed to come across as confrontational. I'm guessing that the age 60 thing was a sarcastic comment about making the public believe that what Sparks is doing couldn't be bad if old guys are agreeing to do it.

I don't know for sure. I could be wrong.

I find it odd that they consider it distracting when you consider the endless onslaught of distractions all drivers are continuously exposed to. I suspect the distraction thing might just be an excuse to prevent what they feel is a cheesy form of advertising that might cheapen the look of their resort town. I mean, a handful of trucks certainly doesn't compare to Times Square or Vegas.

What are these LED billboards on trucks? I never saw one. Are they in only certain locations?
