So as I drive along I am supposed to stare at a phone to tell me an ideal speed? I am already busy Facebooking and texting while I drive, to say nothing of making sure I am listening to my favorite music. I might need to buy a second phone to use as a I drive, and an app to remind me of where the steering wheel is.
