steeringwheeldeskA couple of months ago, state legislatures drafted bills to outlaw D.W.T. (driving while texting). Makes sense, considering how dangerous it is to not only talk on a cell phone while driving, but to text as well. That's why I couldn't believe on SciFi Tech today that this product actually exists. It's called the MobileGear WheelDesk, a desk that attaches to your vehicle's steering wheel. Use the included nylon straps and buckle to keep your laptop locked in place on the desk while you're checking e-mail or reading blogs.

Even though the company doesn't recommend that you drive and write e-mail at the same time ("When you are ready to drive to the next appointment, simply remove the desk from your steering wheel and store it inside your Auto Exec desk or on the passenger seat") I bet there are people out there who will try to do so. That's just asking for danger.

The WheelDesk sells for $19.95.

This is actually good news for most budding reporters. With staff and budget cuts happening almost everywhere, the car has become the new mobile office, with tons of stories getting filed right from the front seat. How's that for ergonomics?
