Driving while on a tablet?

[ Edited ]

I just heard the lady with Kristen say that the 8 inch tablet was a good size because you could hold it in one hand and drive with the other!  That’s extremely dangerous and illegal in a lot of states.

 

It’s not something QVC should condone.

Haha.  I didn't catch that.  I'm watching, but multitasking.  No, it's not a good idea to hold your tablet while you drive.

I was half listening.  I asked my husband if that’s what she said, but he didn’t hear it.  I rewound it and sure enough that’s what she said.

 Kids are eating Tide pods why not drive with your tablet too!!!  There will be a lot of people doing that.  I wouldn't be surprised a bit.

If she gets a ticket ... huge fine in California ... then she can explain how to drive responsibly and treat the tablet like a cell phone and not use it while driving.  Hopefully there will be no accidents due to this irresponsible comment on air.

That was a dumb thing to say.

 

Was she talking about using it for directions or as a GPS?  You shouldn't be holding it while driving though.
