I know its made for a car, but I tried driving with one the other day and found that it was distracting. It took my mind and eyes off the road often enough to make me uncomfortable.

They don't look at oncoming traffic, nor traffic lights. Yes, I agree drivers should not be using GPS, cell phones, reading books, and eating. Fines are not enough to stop it. But I've noticed police officers on their cell phones in their patrol cars while driving, and doubt if it's job related.

More deaths occur from ignorant fools behind the wheel of a deadly vehicle than with all gun deaths combined. Where is the outrage? Focused on the small potatoes of guns. Strip cars down with no electronic gismos that cause distraction and make the steering wheels have sensors that require two hands to operate the vehicle. I guess just like everything else, we have to start idiot proofing them with systems to prevent the idiots from hurting others. Yes to jail time!!!
