Summary
COI synopsis: The car radio makes a good travelling companion... for most of the time. But if you have been travelling fast along the motorway with the volume turned well up the loudness of the radio could be a distraction when you are slowing down and need to concentrate most. A device linked to the car’s speedometer makes sure that the volume fits the speed.
