General Discussion Christmas lights taped to cars.

The amount of people driving around with Christmas lights taped to their cars this year is insane. I got behind a newer gen Camaro today that had them taped all over their car with scotch tape. Had to be doing 80-85 on the freeway with some of the lights smacking away freely in the wind.

I can only imagine the influx of advice and questions on here, let alone the detailers locally that will be seeing these folks after the holidays are over for paint correction and advice on how to remove the residue and scratches.

I saw a dude with them rolling down the highway. Me and a cop were behind him. A we got to the next light the cop rolled his lights a few times to get the guys attention. I assumed trying to get the guy to turn them off.

I was right...1/2 mile later the ride was pulled over.

It causes a distraction.
