Truckie charged for having TV on dashboard

TV on dashboard Photo: Police say the 32-centimetre television was hooked up to a portable DVD player. (NSW Police Media)
Map: Goulburn 2580

A West Australian truckie has been charged after police found a widescreen television attached to the dashboard of his semi-trailer.

Police at Goulburn in New South Wales pulled over the truck after receiving reports from motorists on the Hume Highway of the driver's erratic driving.

They say the 32-centimetre television was hooked up to a portable DVD player.

In a statement, police said the television obscured a significant section of the windscreen.

The driver faces several charges including driving a vehicle without a clear view and driving while using a hand-held mobile phone.

Was he actually watching it while driving? Wow if so.
I can see the logic behind having one if you're a truckie on long overnight runs where you may need rest times or be required to sleep in your cabin overnight, but having it dead center of the windscreen probably isn't the first place I'd install it.

Funny you say that. I was crusing one night and some guys pulled up beside me and took the DVD screen off the dash and held it out the window and they were watching porno. True story :

he would`nt be that dumb to be watching it while driving, but he would have been better having a laptop secured to the dash so he could pop the lid and watch it during rest breaks.
