I've seen several references to people being prosecuted for watching TV while driving, IIRC one guy was done for playing on an onboard playstation - while driving...

Thats insane. how would he have coped with taking a tricky right hander on Gran Tourismo at the same time as a left hander in the real world??!!

The other day I was watching TV through the back window of the SUV in front while following him down the freeway ... on a dark night the 10" screen was quite bright and clear enough to make out the picture from 25m behind! Was this illegal? ;-)

I tend to spill my beer when I watch the TV in the car

It wouldn't be funny if I tried to type it in... the basic premise was the on-board computer was a nagging bitch that ended up distracting the driver so much he crashed.

Not really dearest, just a pathetic attempt at humour.
