What would you be charged with if anything if you had these logos on your car? In North America? On the side of your car or the back window?

A is similar to the radio active USDOT Hazardous Materials Transportation Placards Which could get you pulled over to see if you are licensed to carry Hazmat material. Don't know if any tickets could be issued. If your car was in a wreck first responders might take it for Hazmat in the vehicle and wait for a hazmat team to come before they would go near the area. Which could be life threatening for you or other people involved in the accident.
 
Waloshin equating himself to a psycho ... interesting. ;)

What would you be charged with? Failure to be cool for one.

I don't think A is close enough to a HAXMAT placard to get stopped for it. But if it were and he was searched and found to NOT be carrying enough of that class of hazardous material then yes, he would get a fine for it and be required to remove it from his vehicle. At least that is how it works in the big trucks ;)

Hey, good to see you back. You'll get used to the OP. ;)
 
Why would you want to put those on your car? Attention? That's a rubbish kind of attention to get. It's also a little stupid to "cry wolf" and trivialize the meaning of those logos. Radioactivity and biohazards aren't particularly trivial matters.

Umbrella Corporation [being fictional] isn't such a big deal but I would think anyone driving around with that on their car was a bit of a tosser.

I would rather advertise a fictional company instead of free advertising for :apple:.

Yeah, we have radioactive symbols at several places at work. Definitely not a trivial thing.

If you stuck that symbol somewhere like your computer lid, that's OK because it's obvious you wouldn't hide radioactive material in there.

However, in your car, it's more than possible.
