Dear teacher,
Officers say they are being distracted by the tasks they are expected to perform on the new system when their full attention should be given to what is happening outside the patrol car. Sergeant DeMers said one officer recently was so distracted by what he was doing on the 12-inch touch screen that he crashed into a parked car.
During a recent tour of the system with a reporter in the passenger's seat, Sergeant Navin typed in a message to another officer, Sgt. David Bacigalupi, asking his opinion of the Intergraph system. "You can't print what I think," came the officer's response.
Later, as Sergeant Navin drove through the streets of San Jose, his taps on the screen inevitably led to some swerving, inadvertently bearing out his colleagues' claims - even though he was clearly well versed with the ins and outs of the system.
Q1 : What does the bold sentence mean?
Q2 : "his taps on the screen inevitably led to some swerving"
I think the meaning is that he changed the direction of his car suddenly because he was distracted by what he was doing on the touch screen. What do you think?
All the best,
You can't print what I think?
