Man pulled over with entire office in his car!


This photo made available by the Saarland State Police in Germany earlier today, shows a Ford Station wagon that has been wired up like a portable office. The driver, a 35-year-old man was pulled over for doing 130 km/h (81 mph) in a 100 km/h (62 mph) zone while passing a truck Monday. Built on a wooden frame on his passenger seat they found a laptop on a docking station tilted for easy driver access, a printer, router, wireless internet stick, WLAN antenna, and an inverter to power it all. He also has a navigation system and a mobile phone mounted on the dashboard. Since there wasn’t evidence he used the office while moving, he got away with a euro120 ($153) speeding ticket and possible fine for having unsecured items in his car.

It is remarkable the lengths that some people will go to in order to carry on working while driving. It is important however to remember that the laws are toughening up in the UK. It is now not only illegal to talk on your mobile phone without a hands-free device, but it is also an offence to text while driving.


It may not be a complete in-car office, but it is the next best thing!  The kit features voice control so you can pick up your calls without taking your eyes off the road and  the auto-connect feature recognises your paired handset whenever in range.  You can even pair 8 handsets simultaneously- great if you have more than one phone! This portable visor solution is fully transportable and features 15 hours talk time and 800 hours standby time. It is also fully transportable so can be used as a loud-speaker in your office or at home as well as in your car.
