I figured out a good way to mount the iPad in my car. I took the Belkin Gel Case and some universal vent clips and made a small slit in the Belkin case for the end of the vent clips to go through. It is very stable and looks good. Check it out!
Well the point would be to be able to use it without having to hold it while you drive (GPS, Ipod, etc)
Stupid. Just plain stupid. This is why I write so many traffic tickets because these accidents can kill people and also raise insurance rates. We've had 4 kids die in the last 2 weeks from texting and not paying attention.
Put the iPad down because its not going to do a damn thing for you when youre dead.
Yet every police cruiser I see has a laptop facing the driver... And they don't have touchscreen so they must use the keyboard.
Hmmmm
Good point..
However two wrongs don't make a right. Just because someone else does it doesn't mean you should do it too. It's dangerous regardless and causes a lot of deaths and accidents.
I think the point is more along the lines that it must not be that such displays are inherently dangerous so much as they can be too distracting to those that allow themselves to be so distracted.
Prius', Lexus, an many other cars have such displays installed by design, from manufacturer.
On some cases these displays replace the ones that are more mechanical and considered "less dangerous to use". Such as radio and climate controls.
I recognize that those are crash-tested and all. However, I had a hard time getting used to. Yet once I did it was just another set of buttons.
The car manufacturers are committing another wrong?
