BUKHRN - You're probably right. I guess I would try not to give any LEO an excuse to stop me and check something.
I always thought it had to be physically out of the driver position view.
I will check on that for driving here in Virginia... I'm always looking down to my truck information video screen - what would be the difference????
EDIT NOTE: Just looked this DOT REG up
DOT VA 46.2-1077
The last two para state what you said I reckon...
" 8. A television receiver, video monitor, television or video screen, or any other similar means of visually displaying a television broadcast or signal, if that equipment has an interlock device that, when the motor vehicle is driven, disables the equipment for all uses except as a visual display described in subdivisions 1 through 7.
B. Except for displays explicitly authorized in subsection A, no driver of any motor vehicle shall view any motion picture or similar video display while driving."
I guess I stand corrected on having it mounted in view of the driver if it has an INTERLOCK to be off when the Vehicle motor is running...
