This is so the idiot can text and drive at the same time. Note the use of the word “idiot”.
So when the idiot is texting and not watching where there going and slams the car in front of them the air bag goes bang and presto… permanent phone in cranium installation!!! That solves all them pesky hands free laws!
EXACTLY my thought…!
Then they’ll need to pass some face-free laws.
Yup, you were thinking the same thing I was. Would be a funny situation to explain when taken to an ER… “…yeah, that’s why my face says “gnusmas” (Samsung backwards).
That phone looks too old to text with. Either that or it’s one of those pay as you go jobs…
nokia 5070 is that you?
Very nice…
Today was parked in car, engine off. Trying to take notes in a paperback book I’m reading, one I own. Realized I might want to order the steering wheel laptop device displayed in an earlier thread.
And I do have a device that is supposed to let me talk hands free through my radio and cell phone.
Heck, I don’t even talk to People in the car if the traffic gets tricky!

This is extra convenient because when the airbag goes off, the phone also dials 911 by smashing the buttons into your face. Do I smell an Insurance write off?
And this really goes well with his Laptop Steering Wheel Desk.
Don’t give that idiot any ideas!
Perfect illustration for the two meanings of “air bag”.
“Air bag” also means someone who talks a lot!
I think that a person who talks too much is a windbag. But then again, there isn’t much air in an Airbag when it deploys
just one gust of windy gas.
“Doctor, the patient arrived 9 min. ago, was involved in a frontal accident with another vehicle, no visible injuries, yet the patient is unconscious but I can assure you that he is a ventriloquist!”
What could possibly be more distracting than having your eye poked out by a snapped rubber band?
This guy is terrified of the airbag. The kludge is his way of uninstalling dito and to tighten the rubberband up he used whatever was available in the car.
Beats a $200 Jawbone Bluetooth set.
If god meant for people to text while driving, he would have given us phone holders in the steering column.
Brilliant.
So much for Intelligent Design.
Now you can text, steer, AND honk at other drivers all at the same time.
Reminds me of a similar hands free system…

People like this and people who drink out of glass bottles while driving simply don’t want to have a face after a car accident.
There is nothing in this image to suggest that the driver intends on using this to assist in texting. Using the phone in speakerphone is the only thing this setup would be practical for, as many states restrict the use of phones to handsfree.
Let’s hope the vibration on this phone is not too hard when someone calls him, otherwise he might get a ticket for honking where he’s not allowed to.
Seriously guys, everyone’s talking about texting.
How are you going to actually send a text when your phone is attached to the horn? Every keystroke is going to cause the horn to honk.
It’s great positioning for a speakerphone though. The driver can hear everything and the person on the other end can hear the driver.
As far as an airbag, more than likely the cover will flip up or down in event of a crash needing an airbag. That would take the phone and fling it into the floor, or fling it into the windshield. Both could have reflective consequences, but unless you get into something really nasty, I doubt it.
“How are you going to actually send a text when your phone is attached to the horn? Every keystroke is going to cause the horn to honk.”
That’s called feedback. By hearing the horn, you know the keystroke went in.
I agree with you on the speakerphone advantage. However, that phone will not be carried up or down with the “flap” when the airbad deploys. It will go straight for the driver’s face or chest at about 100MPH.
There is no one on earth I need to communicate with that badly. Ever.
“Hello?” “I have your phone.” “What? Who is this?” “Meet me at the town hall building at midnight with $127, or your phone will meet with an unfortunate accident.”
Win!
This guy is in SERIOUS denial about how dangerous distracted driving is. Like a kid trying to get away with jumping off the roof on a technicality in the wording of the rules.
so your saying i should go very carefully remove that live nade from my steering wheel….
Honk if you love T9!
THIS ^
Can you be arrested for plausible intent to commit a traffic violation?
I think this person meant to just have a hands-free talking setup. If you push the buttons to text, you’ll probably be honking your horn with every other letter. What better way to call attention to yourself than to honk all the time?
I think the big risk might be all the minutes and overtime charges he’d rack up after getting in an accident and becoming the world’s first person to face-dial by accident.
I like the idea of the airbag cover zinging the phone into the drivers crotch. Airbag to the face, phone to the groin. It doesn’t get any better than that.
Thereby removing said driver from the gene pool, if the driver’s male that is. I’m not so sure about that, even though people keep using “he” because that’s a very smooth girly hand on that steering wheel.
in that case the phone would just disappear.
Aside from the potential airbag issues, I see no problem with this hands-free phone setup. It’s far more distracting to initiate a Bluetooth connection than to just use the handset by itself. A speakerphone setup like this is probably the least distracting way to talk.
And yeah, there’s no way the intended use here is texting. I hope.
Not now, honey, I’m busy crashing!
but now if you crash and the airbag goes off you’ll have a cell phone cushioning the impact!
If it were a video iPod, then I’d be impressed.
Are you one of the millions of Americans guilty of driving while texting or talking on the phone? Billy Mays here for the Rubber Band, the most convenient handsfree device for any phone guaranteed.
Now the cops know exactly who to look for. The car will be honking all the time.
It looks like that elastic is just attached to some corners in the plastic. So the question is will he crash because the phone distracted him, or because the elastic slipped off and he reached down to pick it up?
that is one text away from a rubber band to the eye!
What a wonderful way to distract attention from the fact that you’re texting while driving! Set it up in such a way that every time you push a button you honk the horn and alert someone that you’re pushing the horn for no particular reason!
When Will People Learn!
Don’t SMS and Drive!
Guys bumper sticker: Horn broke, watch for angry text message!
Comment Win!
Isn’t it just to use the speaker mode ? Not so idiot, or … ?
Even if the phone doesn’t get lodged in your skull after the airbag deploys, it’s still gonna hurt like hell. Airbags deploy at close to 200 mph. Anyone stupid enough to do this, deserves to get a phone launched into their sternum.
-Only two things are infinite, the universe and stupidity, and I’m not sure about the former!
From Albert Einstein
Can a full cell phone be put up your nose? Lets just wait and see….ring ring…i think it’s about time.
Actually, i think this is so that when shes texting, she inadvertently honks the horn, thereby making her pay attention to the road as well as alerting other drivers of the idiot driving this vehicle.
WOW a hands free car phone prototype!
Honk if your typing!
This is actually brilliant! Come on people, don’t you see? Now, whenever he is texting, he’ll be honking the horn–thus making all fellow drivers aware of his divided attention.
she had to have her hands free to put on makeup
The next day, he was released from the hospital with a scar in the shape of a cell phone, complete with buttons, right on his face. Gives a whole new meaning to “pushing my buttons”.
