Toyota Aygo

I'd like to be able to read the full transcript of the bible whilst on the move, for that holier than thou/ smug vibe, hands free of course!

 

And it actually reads it out ?

 

It does. It’s called an audio book

 

So a bit like the radio then

 

I was only saying to Mrs B last night ‘is that legal to be responding and touching the screen?’ Last night.

Seems a bit odd given the U.K. climate regarding texting and using a phone right now.

 

Guessing it’s the same as dialling via hands free as you would have to speak your reply

 

The ad shows the driver touching the screen, so as to open a text message. Doesn’t show any response.

In reality, probably like Siri or any voice-recorder keyboard on an iPhone.

 

I’ll find out little lady works for Toyota - I’ll get one and try

 

The MotoGP boys don't seem to have too much trouble reading the text messages on their bikes screens. I would have thought that's the last thing you would wanting to be doing hooning round a track at the speeds they go.

Mind you that's probably why Cal crashes so much as he likes to read all the fine detail about his lap times etc on his display.

 

Audiobooks?

 

Maybe Cal listen to Foggy: the Superbike years... lol

 

The law is:

Using a phone or a sat nav when driving

It’s illegal to hold a phone or sat nav while driving or riding a motorcycle. You must have hands-free access, such as:

a bluetooth headset
voice command
a dashboard holder or mat
a windscreen mount
a built-in sat nav

The device must not block your view of the road and traffic ahead.

You must stay in full control of your vehicle at all times. The police can stop you if they think you’re not in control because you’re distracted and you can be prosecuted.

So touching the screen is fine, so long as you don't weave about and are considered not to be in full control. I'm not sure I agree, but thats the rules.

 

I do have difficulty playing 8 ball pool while the phone is in its' cradle.......

The law is an ass..

 

Frequently!
