Driving while distracted

Recommended Posts

So this guy takes GPS unit intended for bicycles, and uses it in his car. Now here is the punchline: He fastens it to the steering wheel. Even better: He also attaches a video camera to the steering wheel to demonstrate it.

Hi ryoder,

I read an article in the newspaper the other day that said Ray LaHood, Secretary of Dep't. of Transportation was considering banning all communication devices while driving; including 'hands free.'

Apparently, he is getting fed up with nutzy driving & accidents by the cell phone addicts.

I was driving I-75 in Georgia a month ago. Passed a guy. Out of the corner of my eye, I see, WHAT.
I slowed and got behind him. He had the GPS stuck on the windshield directly in front of his face. IFR driving.
U only make 2 jumps: the first one for some weird reason and the last one that you lived through. The rest are just filler.

I think your attachment says it all. Sheesh! Doesn't he know they make Garmins for cars? ;)



Not only that, I wonder what happens to the camera when the air bag fires.:S

I sure hope his IFR cert is current.

He could get ramp checked and ticketed otherwise!
