The Police realised something was amiss when they saw orange flashing lights on the BMW?
Literally just drove past a car draped in Xmas lights the other day. Here in the US it varies by state, but in OH at least it doesn’t seem to be explicitly prohibited, just “recommended against”. The laws are more concerned with bright spotlights and flashing lights.

I just drove to Michigan and back, saw maybe 5 vehicles, including a semi covered in lights.
One just had a single dollar store strand around the hood, one had followed all the panel lines on the car, and the others were just wrapped a couple times over the top and underside.
None were flashing or twinkling, just steady lights.
As long as they don’t flash or move while driving, honestly I don’t think a couple strands would be that distracting except maybe a double-take
I can see how this many lights would be distracting for some. I would definitely look more than twice, if I had space around me.
Still though I think I’d just ask them to leave most of the lights off while actually on the move at most.
Them not flashing isn’t great either. It is distracting - remember that not everyone has your level of focus. Especially annoying for people with astigmathism - it blurrs the everliving shit out of everything.

Good point. I get annoyed with the little lines on my windshield caused by the wipers in rain that make lights stretch a bit (idk how to better explain that), I can’t imagine how terrible it must be for people with astigmatism
Saw a couple in Washington state a couple weeks ago.
Just saw the same thing in NE Ohio too.
Can’t be having fun.
In traffic, generally no.
Of yeah? Hold my beer
Dammit made me snort. Take your upvote
No, hold your own, I got my own beers to deal with!
