Electronic billboard reminds Floridians not to ‘Poké and Drive’

by John_A

Clear Channel wants to remind you not to play Pokémon Go while driving. The company has taken out space on an electronic billboard in Jacksonville, Florida telling people not to play the popular mobile game while they drive.

As you can see, the PSA changes, saying “Pidgey can wait” or “the Poké Stop can wait.” It’s certainly a clever way to get someone’s attention.

If you’re really enjoying Pokémon Go, that’s great, but remember to practice some common sense. Don’t dart out into streets chasing a Squirtle, or walk into people pursuing an Electrode. And certainly don’t play the game and drive, because that’s a very good way to get yourself or someone else hurt.

Thanks to Alemuit for the tip!
