We’re not allowed to touch our phone more than 1 tap when we’re driving in Michigan.

I just got off of a 3 hour drive and realized I probably broke the law 10 times. I hate voice commands. Does anyone have a strategy for not being a total criminal while also staying entertained and/or productive during long communtes and trips?

    Be wealthy enough to own a car with built in infotainment I guess. Meanwhile I’m stuck with my 2000 4 runner and barely functional pioneer radio. Funny how I still see cops writing full length novels on their laptops while driving though.

      There’s some decent aftermarket infotainment systems with Bluetooth, Android Auto/ Apple Carplay for a few hundred dollars. Some of them come with a microphone for wireless calls.

      Might want to check out an Echo Auto if you have an Aux input on your stereo. Not a bad option for Bluetooth connectivity and voice commands without having to replace your head unit.
