ads in a car should not happen, period, even if stopped. just because you're not moving this instant doesn't mean you shouldn't be paying attention.

imagine you get to a stop sign, come to a complete stop, and then an ad pops on right as you're trying to figure out if you should make that right turn

hell, the loud crash bang honk sounds on radio shows and radio ads have been banned in many places for that reason.

I think that pre-traffic-report sound effect probably contributed significantly to me purchasing a new head unit that let me play mp3s off burned CDs.
