Driving conditions are such in southern Europe that this would be madness.
I've seen some good photos made by the passenger, and that's different.

Check out Patrick Zachmann's series 'Motorways France 1982'. Wonderful stuff.

....this is something I've only done digitally until recently. Tried it with a Canonette QL17, will be using the S2 next time I'm "stuck in traffic".

I like this idea. We spend so much time in our vehicles (America) without really concentrating on the world around us. When I first saw RoberT Frank's pictures from behind the wheel I was amazed. In 2007 I think we see more of the world this way then from the cubicles of offices.

A slight variation on the theme 
These shots were taken coming down off Mt. Fuji after riding some of the offroad trails a few years ago.

I drive a tractor-trailer 60-70 hours a week. I have the same shots except from about 4 feet higher in the air!
Most of my shots include part of my truck. When I first started shooting from my truck, I worried about window frames, mirrors, winshield wipers and other stuff showing, but decided that unless I was planning on cropping almost every shot, I'd better give it up. Now, I'm happy.
Besides, the photos show my perspective, which after 25 years behind the wheel is normal to me, but might be interesting to others (or not).
Just for the record, though, if anybody (including me) thinks this is a safe practice, it absolutely is not. While you're shooting, you're not driving. No matter how quickly you shoot, it takes longer than almost every accident. Lecture over! That said, I still love it.

With an RF camera that has a 1:1 viewfinder, you hold it up to your eye had continue to have a clear, undistorted view of the road, the gauges, etc. You can drive that way indefinitely, with the caveat that you're driving one-handed. I drove several miles like this while experimenting.
