So, I'm driving on the Southern State & Sunken Meadow yesterday and almost every overpass was littered with a banner for idriveyourcar.com (or something like that).

If the original litterer sees this: Don't be a scumbag, buy advertising! You're marketing plan sucks, the wording is too small too read safely, lucky you're you have no life and traveled to every bridge and puy up the banner. I guess you want to be a chauffeur but can't afford to lease a town car, but you want me to entrust you with my car? How do I even know you can afford the proper insurance (or want to take $ shortcuts with insurance like you did with advertising) if you wreck my car? Your free advertising puts your business to shame, it's an interesting concept (not for me) but you have to build trust that my car is secure while you're driving it or you're not going to head to the nearest scrap yard with my car when you are left unsupervised when I'm in the restaurant eating or watching a show? I don't get that security from a company who feels they need to litter our overpasses with their overpasses instead of paying for advertising.

My question is does the DOT or anyone remove this garbage? Does anyone from the state or counties go after and fine companies that excessively litter their advertisements like this?

That's a good question - whomever put these up needs to be fined.

I saw one of those signs along Sunrise Hwy today too. I'm tempted to buy a Yugo, let wasps build a nest in the back, and then hire that idiot to drive it around.

Hopefully someone hacks their website and puts up pictures of goatse.

Technically the town or police can issue a summons to anyone such as a campaign or company for each violation based on the assumption.
