Under the law, I imagine a cop could see me adjusting a setting, and pull me over. The positioning of the PDA is such so that it's right beside the driver's window, in plain view of other motorists, but for the driver, it could be essential gauges. Other drivers could assume that I'm an inconsiderate driver with a PDA on.
I imagine it would be similar to using a GPS.

Why cant you change the settings when the truck is stopped?
