And in California, this would be illegal.  California Vehicle Code
specifically states that at no time shall a television screen be visible
to the driver of the vehicle, i.e. on the dash or front seating area of
the vehicle.  Exceptions to this are the computer terminal screens used
in emergency vehicles.

'course that don't prevent the customizer slackers from doing it anyway.

You've got enough going on in front of you without having a TV screen
distracting you anyway.  Safety First - Put it in the back where it
belongs and entertain the passengers.
