Most stupid invention. EVER!

Child knows ELR from ads and friends places. It is banned at my place! Along with Funniest Home videos and other similar crap. Alas, she does know the simpsons.

I couldn’t see the number plate – and child didn’t read it to me, so….

As you could see what was on the screen I would suggest the you would also be able to get the number plate. Simple let your fingers do the walking and your mouth do the talking.
Next time you see that ute I bet he won’t be laffing.
Your child knows Every body loves Raymond??? Simpsons to I am gessing…..sigh
What are such parents doing on our roads???

Actually, mine child told me it was Everybody Loves Raymond…..

Um, if you were able to discover it was (puke) “Everybody Loves Raymond”, how safely were YOU driving? Sounds like you were watching TV to me.

i don’t drive because in the imminent present we have no need for cars or transportation so I can’t comment.

Yeah, my friend had a tv in his beemer that would only work when the brake was on.

I agree it’s fine for kids and stuff, but this guy was watching it while driving. It’s just so dangerous!

And he turned off towards Flynn / Charnwood. But I don’t know if that’s necessarily relevant….

You can play TV while driving, as long as the driver can’t see it (eg. see The Age).

Most responsible installations are either roof-mounted with a flip-down LCD panel or embedded in the rear of the front seats for the kids.

Pre-market TV screens in cars are wired in a way that they cannot be launched whilst the car is being driven (so I hear).
But of course anyone can now fit an after-market TV/DVD player and watch whenever they want.

Good for cricket.

I can sort of understand TV in the back seat so the driver isn’t distracted by fighting kids, but what good is it in the driver’s area? Unless you live in a city that has stand-still traffic jams for half an hour at a time.

Hell,I don’t even listen to the car radio when I’m driving,let alone watch a television show !

So something from the ABC would be more appropriate? That would add the double danger of falling asleep at the wheel.

Come on JB. You don’t usually watch the other person in the car (unless they are particularly hot).

people drive with TV screens in japan, although they do have lower limits.

seriuously though, nothing is as distracting as another human being in a car.

are we going to ban them?

er, i mean left.

it probably is against the law.
i don’t get why we need to legislate common sense though
but i guess we do

where abouts was he driving ? did he turn right onto ginninderra drive, heading towards charnwood ? i hear that suburb is rather bereft of common sense
