There have been gadgets galore for the motorists, most thankfully are just a craze. Take for instance the pink fluffy dice sure to mare any forward visibility. Or the nodding dog that sends any following driver into a hypnotic state with disastrous consequences.

For the twenty first century, the gadgets moved up a gear or six with inventions such as satellite navigation, Bluetooth technology, all deemed to be safety related. Just as well for we are driving in a time when virtually everything is forbidden. We cannot eat at the wheel, use a mobile phone unless hands free, flick the fag end out of the window and woo betide anyone caught with a finger up their nose.

However it seems we are doing a U-turn a bit like our government, for I have just discovered the latest gadget or ‘craze’ guaranteed to appease any driver.

Just to cement the fact that there is not enough attention being given to the dangers of drivers' err lack of attention, along comes the in-car French fry holder complete with integrated ketchup tray. Yep, you have read correctly.

It's being advertised through the Improvements website (improvementscatalog.com) and is versatile as well doubling up as a "snacks or crayons" holder according to the site.

Sadly it’s "not available at this time." Oh what a shame. Beats going to MacDonald’s drive thru!
