I actually experimented for at least a month on seat positions and steering
ratios (when implementing power steering) to allow me to play the harmonica
while driving my Land-Rover. I must say on the long hauls I have done to
date (especially the 3500 km ottawa to NS nightmare run), the harp-friendly
driver comfort system has kept me alive and awake through spurts of
microsleep, and allow me to drive the landie in a time of crisis, with one
hand on the wiper motor, as the wiring had crapped out, whilst the other
continued on playing ther familiar boredom-battling roster.
