watching tv while driving new rs4

[SteveH]

Getting a bit fiesty in here Certainly raised a smile... I agree that you should'nt be watching TV whilst driving (probably wont keep a signal at speed anyway), but I think that its damn annoying if your sat in stand-still motorway traffic and then move forward a few feet at 0.5mph and the damn TV cuts out and takes an age to come back on. Also, as responsible drivers (in performance cars ) as we all clearly are; you dont have to look at the screen if your wanting it on for the benefit of your passengers.

Perhaps programmed to stay on under 10mph instead of 2mph or whatever it is?

my 2p.

you dont have to look at the screen if your wanting it on for the benefit of your passengers.

A point well made

I just dont agree with the driver watching it whilst moving.

who would wanna live in the Uk, unfortunatly i probably wasnt you choice to live there, in sydney australia, nobody cares how you had the accident as long as you pay your insurance, youll get a new car or money. easy

Going by the photo in you post, Sydney looks like a fantastic place to live. Great weather, modern architecture. Wow you are sooooo lucky. Where is my passport.
Only a to$$er would watch TV and drive a car. Why not drink a slab of VB before you set off just to make sure you kill an innocent pedestrian.

Nice car though - try not to smack it up.

just because your visiting someone and take a picture of your car in that area doesnt mean that you live there, but if i was to park it in front on my house i think it would suit the car just that little bit more.

I live in Sydney too, and if you were caught watching TV whilst driving, you'd get a ticket for driving meta-dangerous, which is a 3yr ban and a prison sentence which your lawyer will have to argue down to the minimum ban of 12 months and a hefty fine.

I wouldnt fancy your chances in front of the magistrate when arguing why you were driving with the television on and why you disabled the TV safety feature. best leave the TV well alone. The reception is rubbish anyway in Australia, so why do you care anyway

lukas you know yourself and have probably seen how many cars drive with tv/dvds playing all the time while driving, i understand that some people might get distracted while watching days of our lives, but you tell me what the difference is between your passangers watching a movie, OR pumping the music to the maximum like some people do, There is hardly a difference. either way your distracted by both tv and blaring music, ive had custom build interiors in many cars with tv panels for each passanger ( tv/dvd/playstaion compatible),it never distracted me casue i take the road seriously and would never concentrate on anything other than my driving.


I think it comes down to the individual, but personaly the tv doesnt bother me at all.( as for going to court and being baned from driving for 3 years and prison sentance, that is the penalty for 2nd offence drink driving, not watching tv i dont think) from what ive been told

[LucasK]

theres a charge the police can give you on top of the offence (e.g if you're speeding) called driving meta-dangerous, it carries the penalty i outlined above.

[mirkop2]

ah well if you have an accident all you have to do is smash the tv, then at least they cant proove that you were watching it.

Now all we need is a picture of the car and the house together

[mirkop2]

will do hopefully on the weekend

mirkop2, you had a bad start on here dude! All you can do to redeem yourself is to get that pic this week and not crash whilst watching the TV

Yes also very weird i thought that you would paint all of the windows and doors in your house in grey yet in this thread

where you say it is parked in your garage clearly evident the door is black and the walls in a peach type colour. Maybe its just me though if i was going to build a house i'd make sure that all the doors are the same colour and the walls in the house (being white in the above photo) matched those in the garage (which are a cream/peach colour).


Also please do not ever, ever class everyone in Sydney as being the same as you

who would wanna live in the Uk, unfortunatly i probably wasnt you choice to live there, in sydney australia, nobody cares how you had the accident as long as you pay your insurance, youll get a new car or money.

If you were not watching the road instead watching tv whilst driving and killed my daughter due to your negligence i would care very much

Well, the weekend's come and gone - any chance of that elusive photo

[Contigo]

Mr small penis is having problems with finding said house in Photo. Maybe give the estate agent a call from the website that you leeched the pic off and ask them for the address. Who knows? The owner may allow you to pay them to pretend it's yours and have a photo taken with it for a small fee.

Get a grip you mentalist!
