Using your laptop whilst driving...

[erdnase]

Here's a totally safe and responsible item in the Amazon stores.


It's the reviews and customer pictures that make it so funny, though. I'll post a few, and leave you to browse them yourselves, if so inclined.

Makes driving and working a breeze

I gave these out as gifts to people in the office. The best part was we could all browse the web while waiting for the emergency crews to arrive.

My copilot and I both used these during our "daily grind" transcontinental flights from San Diego to Minneapolis. We had to modify them a bit to fit snug against the instrument panels (when we bought them we didn't realize the planes we fly don't have steering wheels!), but in the end it did the job. With our laptops firmly in place we were able to focus our attention on what really mattered, participating in raids with our WoW clan. During our last flight we were so immersed in trying to take down Eranikus that we overshot Minneapolis by a full hour and a half before some annoying flight attendant interrupted us, babbling something about "FAA and F16 fighters.

We'll definitely use this product again at our next gig, whatever and whenever that happens to be...

Highly recommended!

D'oh, it might help if I included a link:

surprising to see no disclaimers of "do not use while driving" despite being on the lawsuit-country's site.

Just what the drivers of today need! Something to distract them from the tedious nature of driving itself! Look at pistonheads for driving advice whilst you drive!

Wasn't a Dutch truck driver locked up for watching Battlestar Galactica whilst driving down the motorway?

I think to be fair, the table thing is for perhaps when you are not moving.

I did think that too. Its just not going to work when you need to use full lock for parking is it?

To be honest, most morning motorists seem too preoccupied with doing their makeup, talking on their phone or eating their breakfast to use one of these. No doubt some resourceful soul would end using one as an in car desk...

You need the optional high ratio steering rack.

Motorway driving only I would suggest. Go round a sharp corner and your lappy could end up in your lap! Worse, you would be distracted from the screen while you were navigating the corner or other inconvenience.

I've seen a few 'european' truck drivers with laptops on the dashboard..... Maybe sell them one of these ...... Hmmm dragons den it is !

This is perhaps the greatest invention in the world. I can line up my needles, spoon and tourniquet all while driving. It's also a great place to put my arm while I'm shooting up. It isnt really a great place to put my LSD stamps, well not when the window's down or the ACs running. When i black out, the table will catch my head and stop the drool from getting all over. The AutoExec's only problem is when me and my woman are driving together and i get in the mood. I grabbed her by the back of her head and tried to push her face into my crotch, trying to get some oral pleasure. Unfortunatly, I forgot the table was there and just kept slamming her face onto it. I ended up busting her nose wide open. If i hand't been so loaded with a mixture of black tar and china white, I may have realized what was going on after the 7th or 8th time. None of this changes the fact that the goddamn purple worm is out to get me

I saw someone using one of these whilst driving to work.

I was so surprised I nearly crashed...




when my coffee, held between my legs, scalded me after I dropped my shaver into it.

A Portugese truck driver wiped out a family of 4 on the M6 in Cheshire about 18 months ago while "using" his laptop.
He was crying when he got sent down.
At least the kids in the car were killed as well so not to be left as orphans.

Think he was watching a film. Guess he never got to see the end.
