You figure, you've got the blackberry/phone/pda in one hand, a burger/ taco/wrap in the other and at least one knee on the wheel. If you push to hard, the wheel might give, thus potentially causing a loss of control I don't think this is a good idea. |
you for this... ;-)

I have it on my 07 Sonata. Nice feature with multiple drivers. I'm curious - do you all sit in the driver's seat at the same time? |

A telescoping wheel allows you to slide the driver's seat farther back until the pedals are just in the right geomety, then you adust the wheel for comfort and control. Let's see this telescoping feature combined with tilt on American cars, GM, Ford, and D-C. My 1978 Newport has it, and I wish our other vehicles did. |

think adjustable pedals makes more sense. Both would be ideal. Keeps any
driver in the same spot. That's going to be important for some kinds of
crash-worthiness, and that's why you're seeing the pedals coming on as an
option.

No flames here. Heard on the radio news the other day, the people's republic of NJ was considering a bill to out law text messaging while driving. To go along with the no cell phone ban in place now. How about a IQ test along with the vision test for license applicants instead.

I can't tell you how often I see a highway patrol or sheriff driving while talking on the cell phone. |

On Fri, 23 Mar 2007 06:49:34 -0400, a rock fell the sky, hitting 80 Knight on the head, and inspiring the following: Hold on a second...People in NJ can't talk on there cell phone, but they can type out text messages? Wow...How about an IQ test for people who come up with these kind of laws too... What's also funny is that we have a law here in California for not talking on the phone while driving. It goes into effect this October. I can't tell you how often I see a highway patrol or sheriff driving while talking on the cell phone. |
moment, but they are working on it. I see people on there cell phones
(including Officer's) all the time.
