Thanks for the info. Unfortunately, there'll still be people who takes things for granted.
On the contrary, if the newspaper is seen flying off the ground, logically, it shouldn't have nails on it. Else, the newspaper won't be flying around. However, I would still avoid a flying newspaper as it may get stuck in the front bumper, therefore restricting air inflow into the engine compartment and thus, the engine bay temperature will increase. So give that a little thought too. heh heh

I avoid newspaper but if I see lots of leaf on the side of the road near the curb, I drive at a good enough speed over them. Then the leaves will all fly up. Good way to let tailgaters smell nature. hahaha
