wheelmate.jpgUsing a laptop computer in a car can be uncomfortable, but no more. The Laptop Steering Wheel Desk hooks on to your wheel to give you a convenient place for the computer, your lunch, or whatever else you're working on.

Clearly there are great uses for this product, but it's also easy to imagine some dangerous abuses--especially considering all the recent hubbub about problems with people using cell phones and even texting while driving. And we've all heard stories of people shaving, putting on makeup, doing crossword puzzles, you name it.

You just know that someone will try to use their computer while they drive now that they have this table. Probably on a highway where the turns aren't so sharp. It's this image that inspired some of the hilarious user reviews and submitted pictures on the Amazon.com page for this product (check one out, after the jump).

policeone.jpgAmazon.com seems to be the main place to buy the Laptop Steering Wheel, although the manufacturer, Mobile Desk, makes a wide variety of computer mounts and other work tools for cars. And the average police car these days seems to come with a computer designed for the driver to use.

Just as awareness of the dangers of distracted driving are increasing and laws are being developed all over to penalize users who phone or text while driving, the industry pushes the envelope more and more. Please keep your eyes on the road and your hands on the wheel.
