Just a general warning to those keeping cell phones and other objects in cup holders, as well as sitting on the seat. If you have the bad luck of being in an accident, loose objects (cell phone in cupholder)have killed the otherwise safely restrainted (by seatbelt/airbag) occupants. Keep loose objects to a minimum. Put the brief cases and laptops in the trunk. Keep the cell phone in the belt clip or brief case. However, a paper cup of coffee flying around the inside of a car in an accident would probably cause only minimal bodily harm. A full metal coffee travel tumbler would really hurt.
