Arnie says hasta la vista to ban on windscreen mounts

 California residents have until now been prohibited from using mounts attached to the windscreen.
The rather curious piece of legislation has been on their books for many years and no-one was quite sure why.
Now California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger has signed a bill overturning the ban with some caveats.
In a very uncommon display of common sense the new bill permits the use of windscreen mounts but only when installed in the lower left or lower right areas of the windscreen and so long as they do not interfere with airbag deployment.
This nicely resolves the issue and is perhaps something we ought to consider emulating here in the UK. Rarely does a day go by where I fail to see a GPS stuck half way up a windscreen and clearly restricting the drivers vision.
