A brum plated PH Honda Accord parks next to me at the school, the driver has a datahead thingy, its placed right on top of the dashboard/speedo nacelle/pod reducing his straight ahead vision by at least half (and hes not tall anyway)

i can imagine what plod would say if the driver had an accident

It'll be either an old Auriga or Autocab data head if it's that big.

I suggest leaving the window open whilst driving,taking a break and stretching your legs every 20-30 mins,when they let you out :D
