    Beyond the moderate dubiousness of the intended mechanism here, if that thing isn’t somehow strapped down or secured beyond being nestled into the half rolled up window, that could very easily come ajar from significant braking or accelerating.

    I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been in cars where the driver just piles loose shit all over their dash, or has a fucking chandelier attached to their rearview mirror, which have come loose and hit people in the face or gotten wedged in some wonky position, and this has lead to an actual or near car accident.

      It rolling off the dash is the least of people’s problems. Depending on the location it might just get launched into your face at 100 miles an hour by an airbag deploying.

      Whenever I see people with their feet up on the dash I know they have never seen a person after an air bag has hit them .
