Surely there is a law against this ...............

I was in a traffic jam today with my handbreak on when I noticed this in front of me:

How much of this dumb womans view would be obscured by the satnav?

 

[sean_ork]

Points for you and her ....

Anything over 4 square centimetres is deemed as driving with an obstructed view ..... having your parking brake on doesn't mean you can legally use your phone btw.

There is a law:
Stickers or other items in front and rear windscreens - GOV.UK - https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/stickers-or-other-items-in-front-and-rear-windscreens

I didn't have time to jump out and measure it!

Irrespective of the 290mm vertical area, placing the device where whe did would seriously impair her visibility of the pavement ahead, and cyclists......

Why we worrying about cyclists the more she wipes out the better.

Hum ............... if she knocked one of your kids flying, would you be happy? I doubt it

 

[telectrix]

No kids to worry about

No kids to worry about

All been run over by motorists or no woman wanted to breed with you?

 

[ferg]

Surely you have better things to worry about.

I know this woman,her boyfriend is a dwarf who stars in our local Nativity play every year...he drives there in his little left hand drive Toyota...

Seems to be a common thingbthese days, sat nav in middle of windscreen. Funny how police can see mobile phone but not sat nav. I think they should definately be placed where they don't obstruct view ahead.

Isn't there something about problems in the swept area of a windscreen - why '----nav' (TM) isn't voice only when moving I've never understood

There probably should be a lot of laws for some of the things I've seen while on the road.
A dutch vehicle was overtaking me one day on the M6 nothing unusual with that I was driving a transit van and what caught my attention was the bobbing head in the driver's lap eating a sausage
Another time I was in slow traffic on the M1 the car next to me caught my attention as the driver was showing a good bit of leg and the top of her stockings and appeared to be spending some time adjusting something between her legs
Just a pity that cameras weren't as available as they are now

What Really annoys me is foot on brake for ages in stationary vehicle in front, especially when it's wet and brake light is at high level..

Reminds me, I gently nudged Chelsea tractor in front when in a jam and not moving.. I actually got out and politely asked her to apply handbrake but she refused. Soon did when she felt nudge though.. strange that!

 

[Percyprod]

Not the old 'Chelsea Tractor' insult. Do you call any car which can do over 70 a 'Chelsea Racing Car'? Bet you don't.
