Bob DownieA timely safety reminder from Natalie Horberg 🤔
tessarakt@geomannie It's only illegal to use the phone when it's not fixed to the car. It's also illegal to use the giant iPad when it causes distraction.

So... It's always illegal? I can't think of a moment with the info overload touch screens i deal with in rental cars where it didn't feel unsafe.
Its more profitable for car companies to do touch screens but its getting people maimed and killed.
@TrimTab @geomannie At least in Germany there is a good chance that it is illegal, yes.
@TrimTab @geomannie IIRC EuroNCAP now also incentivizes real buttons for certain functions.

@tessarakt @geomannie this is extremely dependent on the jurisdiction and varies significantly between countries and often between states / cantons / provinces within the same country
