JUST KIDDING

Putting controls on the wheel that are major controls is like going into TOYOTA territory. Controls for your Ipod or some other non driving purposeful type widget is not going to cause you problems but things you have to have work at all times for being legal or safe should be refrained from. If you never plan on driving your car at an autox or road coarse you will be ok but don't go into territory that can cause you problems you don't need.

Put another way.

Steer clear of of steering obstacles and have clear steering.
================================

Ok, Your strapped into your car, so you can drive it hard and you want to stay on your side of the car. You cannot lean forward enough to reach anything.

Maybe this is a condition that you have never been in, or thought of, but It does exist. I know it can't be a completely stupid idea because of two letters. "F1"(Formula One)

Does that help?

Thanks,

Ty
