Re: Driving while on a tablet?

I can't believe the caller could be so dumb as to admit to that!  Hope I never enounter her on the road!  How did Kirsten respond?

Re: Driving while on a tablet?

Didn't see it, haven't watched the video.  What did the host say in response to the caller?  If she didn't say don't buy it for that reason, she/he is just as stupid.

Wait, was it the vendor or a caller?

It was the vendor. If you watch the video, it's near the end of the presentation. The host didn't even react to what the vendor said. She just continued on so maybe she wasn't fully listening - she may have been thinking about wrapping up the presentation.

Could she have meant that a passenger could read it while in a moving car?

There are times when you must speak, not because you are going to change the opposing side, but because if you do not speak, they have changed you.

@Bird mama

 

 

Vendor says

 

"......hold it with one hand and really be driving with the other hand."

 

NuVision 8" HD Android 16GB Quad Core Tablet with Case

 

Item video E230573

 

@Start @ 7:20 mark toward the end.

Hard to believe a vendor or anybody would think that's a good idea.

*sigh*   Wow.    I cannot imagine saying something like that.   I could never be in sales because you just have to be so disingenuous to sell some of the things they sell.

 

But that this vendor said that is just mind-blowing.   That's irresponsible, to say the least.

Could have been worse.  

 

She could have said," you hold the tablet in one hand, a burger in the other, and put your elbow on the steering wheel".

Didn't see or hear this. Will say that driving any motor vehicle on public roads requires 100% focus by the individual holding the steering wheel. Any distraction can and does cause many deaths and changes lives forever. Unfortunately, much of the time the victims are the ones that suffer, not the perpetrator.
