Trucky tests the Limit...

I have my iPad connect to the dash as I use it as a gps.

It is no more in the way than other gps connect by suction cups as it only sticks up a couple of inches and I reckon no worse than other window gps.

If it was fully mounted on the dash then it would be an issue, like some of the bigger gps on sale today.

In some ways I find it safer as the bigger screen makes it so much easier to see at a glance.

Like you I was worried about the iPad causing problems until I actually drove with it.

I only use it as a gps in theses situations, watching movies while driving is just plain dangerous.

Some have the skills to do something others can't but it doesn't mean it's difficult, imposable or dangerous..... just different skill sets.

I find climbing trees, rock climbing, caving, deep sea diving and sky diving, difficult, imposable and dangerous but I ride a high performance sports bike that will wheel stand at 200+kph.... some may say it's difficult, imposable and dangerous......

We run a 13 inch laptop in our Landcruiser and find it less distracting and easier to use then a 5 inch Hema navigator or any other form of GPS.

Skill sets.... every one is different.... some find something hard to do that others don't.

As one gets older they loose confidence in things they use to do when younger..... the sad part is they think that seeing they can no longer do it then it must be dangerous and unsafe for everyone else including the much younger ones.

Making something safe is when someone gains confidants in what they are doing.



And Coxy before making comments about

"some vehicle manufactures are now fitting larger dash mounted units to their vehicles that have so many functions that makes you question the safety of operating it while moving"

If you cared to take the time to understand something you will find when the vehicle is in motion you can only make very limited changes to the factory indash unit and what you can change has minimal input.

I think they're called taxi drivers John.

Agreed!.......definately a moron!

Yeap... definately a moron.

If he had any sense he would of paid that bit more and bought a large screen... LOL

Cool one,
I like that

Definitely not the smartest thing to do, But the photo looks worse because it was taken sitting in the bunk in the middle of the truck so doesn't show what the driver can realy see.

Dave,
you are right but I can't defendthis driver.

He was put in for driving at the best badly by the public, so something was wrong.

Like I said if he had a swivel on the TV so it could be moved out of vision then OK.

Even from the chair that would have given you a massive blind spot.

All the best,
RA.

Yeap bit of a stupid thing to do but he does Perth to Sydney and travelling the paddock is as boring as.

I think he went overboard and maybe a smaller screen would of been a better choice for the long stretch from Perth to the SA boarder.

Bantam,
No wind up that photo is from the NSW police and the guy was booked.

RA.

well a genuine first class idiot.
