Now don’t get me wrong, I like pictures of scantily-clad women as much as any bloke, but is the huge advert of the semi-naked woman in swimwear just after J9 (near the Bescot Stadium) not a dangerous distraction? We’re told to concentrate on the roads at all time, don’t be distracted, don’t adjust your sat-nav etc etc, yet the powers-that-be permit 50-foot high adverts of this nature at possibly the busiest stretch of motorway in the entire country, with the J9 southbound entry and the swapping & changing for the M5/M6 going on! Whilst I’m on the subject, the very bright neon ones on the M5 between J1 & J2 are very distracting. How do these get planning permission?

Spot on Si,me and my mate was discussing this other morning,drivers preached to about concentration then they put this crap up,they get planning permission cos it must be a good earner for council,highways agency shud put a warning on overhead gantry “slow down drivers reading adverts”!!
Whilst we’re on the subject, I reckon they should Ban the Ladies from wearing Skimpy Skirts this weather & letting them ride up to the Gusset, or at least make them put Flashing Beacons on the roof of their cars to give us a Heads up when they are passing us. Mmmmmm !
