4 weeks.

Estimated time before laptops have a warning label on them that say "warning, unsecured laptops in cars can become dangerous flying objects during a car crash. Secure your laptop in your car or transport it in the trunk.

Except it didn't happen in the US, so there won't be any.



Now had it, sure, four weeks... and a few more until canada got them too.

Stupid runs uphill it seems.
 
People transporting belongings to college in a car...heh, that'd be bad news if there was a crash. The entire car would turn into a large rock tumbler in the event of a rollover accident.

Yeah, Canadians...:roll:

im in the half that doesnt move the truck until people are buckled up. my laptop case has 2 17" wide laptops in it and about 20lbs of cables/ adapters in it. overall, its about 45lbs i think. it would suck to get hit in the head with that, but im not really THAT worried about it. most force would go into the horizontal mode, not sure how vertical that bag would get unless i was somehow hit low and launched.

regardless, it sits in the middle back seat, that way kids can sit on both sides. it tends to wedge itself between the console and back seat so its pretty secure. that wasnt the plan, just how it seems to have worked out.
 
This doesn't apply just to laptops... you married men better warn your wives not to leave their vibrating dildos on the backseat of the car or it might get very embarrasing. 😉

Shit happens. I keep my purse on the backseat or between the front seats, but random loads go on the backseat. The only difference is that I'm so short that the headrest goes all the way to the top of my head. So, where was the headrest in this story...

You better not be a dude

What? It has a shoulder strap, I keep most of my shit in there, and I take it almost everywhere. I didn't get it from a women's shop, and it's not leather though. I have a right to name my accesories!

I don't know whether to laugh... or to feel sad for you 😛

Even IF I did have a bag that resembled a purse.. I sure as hell wouldn't call it a purse. :laugh:

I'm secure enough to be able to call what's what... now excuse me while I go change my top.
