There's a great slide show on the Daily Mail highlighting these super-bright, super-pimped-out trucks, which have been banned from Japanese roadways. They're a part of a Japanese hobby/competition called "Dekotora," which involves decorating trucks with lights and themes. These trucks are so bright, they distract drivers and could cause accidents.
Every square inch of these vehicles, it seems, is covered in lights, murals, chrome and bling. Many use up so much electricity, they require special generators to power the accessories, and even then, they can only run for 20 minutes before the engine overheats.
