I bet if you were using this while driving and just happened to get in a serious or fatal accident (even if it was the other driver's fault), the other driver would use this in court against you. Guaranteed.
Notice how it obstructs your use of the steering wheel itself.
And the ad says it's safer than sending a text message. That's like saying filtered cigarettes are safer than non-filter cigarettes.
This is very scary.
