A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

I feel like I looked into that once upon a time and it was illegal in my state (Ohio).

I have seen something like that though, at times it's a bit too much IMO. I've seen some that trigger for pretty gentle braking so there's just a strobe light distraction in front of you over relatively minor things.
