Excellent David. There are several on Youtube for Mercs too.

I will increase your Stipendary, for the considerable efforts you are making to educate !!

David, having now watched the video, it is my view that ;

1. UK drivers should not be encouraged to do anything that would permit the viewing of video whilst driving. It is illegal.

2. Passengers should not travel in the vehicle with their feet off the floor and strapped in by a seatbelt. Death comes to mind and it is probably mentioned in the Handbook too.

 The concept of using Youtube is highly relevant however, should Members wish to avail themselves in conjunction with the H...B..k !

Fully agree with you John on all the points. He does point out that the video can ONLY be played if the transmission is in Park. Great if you are waiting in a car park for the wife to go shopping or picking up the kids from school.

You see passengers in the front seat of cars, usually on the motorway, with shoes off and resting their feet on the dashboard - right over the airbag!

Only kipped once in the back of my LS, managed about 3 hours (at Lancaster services) before waking up at 06:30 to drive off to Leighton Moss to do some early morning bird watching.

Not sure if the RX would have been any better (from watching the video) but most times a bed wins out over a Lexus (IMHO)

Yes David, so true. Fancy leaving this World with a bang up the  backside whilst being decapitated or garroted by the belt!
