Steering wheel spinner knobs?

i dont know about the knobs but dot will/can pull you over for a running laptop especially at night.

 

Most of the laws are old and usually specify "Televisions" .... If you could be ticketed for mapping program they would also have to ticket 50% of new car drivers....

 

they might not ticket you but they can pull you over. and that there alone wastes time. it's like a light bulb driving down the hwy. it hinders your sight because of the glare of the monitor and if you get pulled by dot or state patrol or even a barney fife officer it could be a time waster if not a fine.

 

the spinner knobs are a "company" banned item. i have worked for some companies that don't care if you have one or two attached to the steering wheel.

i have worked for company's the will remove the knobs and NOT return them to the driver.

i have worked for company's that remove the knobs, write you up, give you back the knob, and if its put back on the steering wheel, they suspend you.................

as far as the laptop goes, just keep it on the passenger seat out of sight.

 

ive heard spinner knobs are illegal for personal vehicles but idk if that helps with commercial vehicles.

 

Suicide knobs, I believe they were once called. An old driver showed me his hand which was severely scarred due to a spinner knob. I can't remember but I think he said it happened when a steer tire blew out.
