Wrong Place at the Wrong Time

A DVD player in a car is nothing new to today's generation. Children under the age of ten have practically grown up with one hanging from the car ceiling. Yet, the auto-industry has managed to pull another fast one on society. Here is a prime example of the kinds of technology meant to distract us. PLaced directly under the pilot control panel, it appears that the driver can enjoy a "flick" every once in a while. All they have to do is take their eyes off the road long enough to get into an accident. It is much easier than it looks. These small DVD players should be placed in the back seats with the kids. There is absolutely no reason for a driver to be taking their eyes off the road. Even if the intent is to just listen to the movie, we all know that sneeking a peak every few minutes is a must. Well, it only takes the blink of an eye for a crash to occur.
