Edit: sorry this should be in a different topic area
While waiting for a Bronco, I've been spending time fixing my 1972 Land Rover. Because the Rover has only lap belts, I was trying (without much luck) to determine the exact legality/compliance with Illinois seat belt regulations.
Anyway, while reviewing the 2021 Illinois rules of the road (link further below), I noticed this regulation:
"Televisions or Video — Televisions or video recording monitors that can be seen from the driver’s seat are prohibited while the vehicle is in motion. Watching or streaming a live video on a cellphone is a violation of Illinois law."
I wonder how this might apply to the Bronco video screen with it's cameras? The screen camera functionality can be seen while in motion. On the other hand, this regulation seems antiquated in terminology such as "television". Also, we have backup camera functionality widespread already, and that can be viewed while in motion.
So maybe there is no issue whatsoever, operating the Bronco camera functionality while driving in any state? Or per this particular regulation, if you hooked "video recording" to the system and the monitor was displaying while in motion, that could be an issue per text of the regulation?
Note, I'm absolutely NOT a rule and regulation kind of guy, lol. But just struck me reading the entire regulation document, there were some questionable items in the document, that could potentially be used against a driver.
