Default RE: Recommend No.2 PARK flyers concern

Ok, I confess to being a part time park flyer.

I have to admit that I am concerned when I see park flyers far too close to the 400 series of highways in the GTA (Greater Toronto Area).... aside from the obvious visual distraction, it would only take a brief gust of wind to make that visual distraction a true hazard. It's not hard to envision some startled white knuckler swerving to avoid that wingo headed for their windscreen, causing a multi-car pileup. [sm=eek.gif]

This is my greatest fear, beyond the obvious 72MHz park flyers causing me to be at the root cause of an incident, albeit in a less densly populated area.

What to do though? Common sense does not prevail, especially when the only education an individual receives, equates these "toys" to nothing more harmful than a nerf football.
