I'm with strumble and M8TJT, I have seen loads of Sat Navs fitted higher on the screen than the four pictures shown in his example. Knowing how bad some of the suction caps are in attaching to the glass screen in hot & cold conditions, (plenty of posts on this site) i feel that some drivers are carrying a lethal weapon and putting both themselves and passengers at high risk if they were involved in an accident.

And what about the Yanks who can't use a suction mount, so balance it on a 'bean bag' on the dash. No restraint at all in an accident. However it does not obscure view and cause the driver to run over a passing pedestrian that he didn't see. Crying or Very sad

Anyone know for the windscreen mounts being illegal in parts of USA?
I know Darren is reviewing bean bag mounts.


and going back to the original question, each state is essentially a country and therefore has it's own laws. hence it's specifically not allowed in certain states but is in others.
