    Ah, you mean like in your car....

    Funny... Your computer has a display and you turn it on to listen to music. Try again.

    You may want to know about something new called 'home theater'.

    And that's a good thing. They also display movies and photos/slideshows. Not having this ability puts the SB at a distinct disadvantage, and relegates it to the narrow niche of audio player. What's called a display is just a readout. I mean for C'sakes, even my phone can do movies and snapshots.

    Your point is valid, in that anything helping to slow down individual drivers is a good thing. If these kinds of sites help in that regard, then they are a positive element...which is my point.

    In this case, 'they' are assumed to be the 'crats and the insurance companies which assume reduced revenue from fewer tickets....revenue from evil-doers, rather than uplifted safety from sensible drivers. Why do you think they call them 'traps'...

    Again, a narrow western perception. Programming in Korea isn't strictly Korean.

    BBC, TF1, CNN, HBO, ESPN, Star. Languages from French to Farsee....English to Japanese....Chinese to Croate. Signed and subtitled, the effort is made for a larger community.
