Consumer Description

WHEN MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN, THE CONTENTS MY CUP IN THE CUP HOLDER (USUALLY HOT TEA) SPILLS INTO MY DRIVER'S SEAT WHEN MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN. 30-35 MI P/HR IS THE MINIMUM SPEED THAT I'VE NOTICED. THIS DISTRACTION CAUSES ME TO TAKE MY EYES OFF THE ROAD TO STRAIGHTEN THE CUP TO STOP THE SPILLAGE. AT TIMES I'VE FOUND MYSELF SWERVING A BIT IN THE TURN BECAUSE OF THE "INITIAL SHOCK" OF FEELING MY HOT BEVERAGE ON MY THIGH.*AK
