It is dangerous (and illegal in many states) for the driver to watch the TV while driving the vehicle. The driver may be distracted from looking ahead and an accident could occur.

Install the VPA-B211A correctly so that the driver cannot watch TV unless the vehicle is stopped and the emergency brake is applied.

If the VPA-B211A is not installed correctly, the driver will be able to watch the TV while driving the vehicle and may be distracted from looking ahead and cause an accident. The driver or other people could be severely injured.
