It’s laughable here, I see idiots driving with laptops on the dash LOL
I have told my company that if they ever install driver facing cameras I promise there is one thing they will not see … ME LOL

As the electorate is dangerously close to choosing the sinister blonde hairpiece that is running the body Trump, that does not surprise me one bit

Putin with one nuclear button, Trump with another, what could possibly go wrong? Answers on a postcard please, but if Trump is elected better use a first class stamp.

Those two will end up with a man tiff over who has the best jet, the shiniest bling, who owns the best golf course then finally a bare chest off. Putin will win that hands down smirking on his personal horse.
Pride singed, Trump, trumps him on the hair round. Enraged Putin launches a manly riveted Putin ICBM. Trump’s hairpiece enraged, orders trump to retaliate in kind, blowing the backside out of the Scilly Isles in the process. Trump of course having clue where Russia actually is.

Cue Slim Pickins whooping, an` hollering, riding that bomb…
Unlike the USA and the Russians we have a small army of Humphrey Applebys to prevent our leaders from actually getting to play with the dangerous toys.
Never thought I`d ever praise the civil service, but well, better than the alternative.
Stop the politics or Carryfart will be along to render this thread unbearable.
When checking the view of the road from the driver’s seat, the view must not be obstructed by any changes to the original design such as the addition of stickers, pennants, cab decorations, stone-guards or other items which encroach more than 40mm into the swept area.
Video monitors when fitted in the area at the top of the screen to give a view to the rear are acceptable provided they do not obstruct the swept area more than a rear view mirror would. Monitors fitted onto the dash must not encroach into the swept area by more than 40 mm.
Official stickers are permitted to encroach more than 40mm if this is necessary to comply with other regulations, and include road fund licence, operators licence, section 19 permits, vehicle anti-theft scheme stickers issued by the Police Authority, toll payment tag/stickers, vehicle distance or lane indicator lenses and security passes. These should only be considered a reason for failure if they seriously restrict the view to the front.
On many vehicles the original design will place things like instrument panel clusters inside the 40mm area swept by the wipers. Intrusions such as this which are original design features can be ignored, as can damage or unofficial stickers placed inside the 40mm limit but which are hidden by that feature.
Some commercial vehicles have very large screens and have windscreen wipers which cover an area that have no practical use. For the purposes of the annual test, the area of the screen above a horizontal line taken from the driver’s eye position, assessed with the driver seated, looking forward in a comfortable upright driving position and with the seat, if adjustable, in its highest position can be ignored other than the area through which the driver is required to view a mirror (front mirrors on HGVs are not required to be viewed through the area swept by the wipers).
Swept area means the area swept by the wipers in their normal operation and does not include any additional area of the screen covered by the wipers to reach the parked position or which the original manufacturer has designed as opaque.
This is from the 2013 goods vehicle inspection manual. I’m sure there has been an amendment since then that allows “driver monitoring devices” (I think it was termed like that, but I stand corrected if wrong)
I took this to mean and include forward facing cameras, so I now fit them at the bottom of the screen in the centre so the view is just through the swept area.
A lot of what you can get away with depends on the Vosa person inspecting. I have been told by a Vosa guy that they won’t bother about sat navs as the driver will just put it back in the screen after the inspection if told to remove it. So long as it’s not in a stupid position.

A truck won’t pass the MOT with anything affixed to the windscreen in the wiper sweep but other than that it’s a bit of a grey area.

Why do you pretend to be foreign? Really odd. Never come across it. Well, once on a night out. A bloke pretending to be Italian. It worked, he netted a lot of girls. He was actually from Lisburn near Belfast!

Talking to a VOSA guy on MSA today, he reckoned the way I described it, that it is indeed illegal.

Well I can understand why drivers pull their side curtains across whilst driving; Copper on a motorbike slowed alongside me on the A34 near Weston on The Green this afternoon, glancing round I could see the nosy git looking to see if I was on my phone (I wasn’t, it was clearly visible in it’s window mounted cradle). I was tempted to mouth “what?” to plod but thought he might then claim I’d said something obscene so I just ignored him. He went off and did the same to the lorry I was following too.
