Ah, just what we need, another in-car distraction while negotiating the
busy
streets of downtown...

I am sorry, but you missunderstand the feature. The only action to be taken
is to push the OK pushbutton to start and another time to stop the
recording. This is similar to switch on the light, change the station and
much more easier as to search for a radio station or smoking a cigarette
while driving. If a driver ist not able to do this without any risk, I think
it is time to give back the driving licensee. Beside of this the recordiong
feature gives you no only the the opportunity to get a recored in best
quality from a program, it can alo be used to repeat a content of a prgramm
which you would like to hear again. This can be in example a longer traffic
message, which you did not understand, becaues it was very comprehensive. In
this case the recording feature even can improve road safety.
