    What makes me laugh is how they all say your the A hole or stopping them and you have no right to to it. Also that they will never admit they were in the wrong that it was not their fault etc or try some excuse to make it sound reasonable to do such stuf.
    Think all should get ines AND driving courses where they have to sit through watching the eects o head on crashes as they free the people trapped in the cars. I bet if they ever saw how even a low speed head on can cause bad injures they would if decent humans never do it again especially if they had to sit with a victim for an hour or more as the rescue people work to free them and secure them before any real meds can be given.
    I was lucky early in my driving career that I was first on scene o bad accident and had to sit with person trapped in their car for an hour while rescue got there and got them free. I say i was lucky because during that time i heard how accident happened and how a simple easy made mistake had led to loss o control and ended with the scene i found. That hour changed my life as i always drove much diferently after that.

    Mounted on the dash may be legal, but it's still far from safe. It's not safe to be doing anything else at all while you're driving. Mine goes in the car boot or in the motorbike pannier, so there's no way I can be tempted.
