If you think soccer moms driving SUVs the size of summer cottages while talking on their cell phones are a menace, get ready for some really bad news.

A "workplace" catalog has introduced the "front seat secretary," which promises to "transform any vehicle into a mobile office." It consists of a desk top that is secured to the passenger seat and has a stabilizing surface for the driver's laptop computer, printer and writing pad, and it includes a pocket for hanging files.

That cell-phone driver will look downright quaint next to the hard-charging exec who's putting together the next big deal while putting the pedal to the metal on the Beltway.
