Regardless of the photography techniques used to get the shot, what the fuck is the point of holding a steering wheel out the window?
Like seriously.
Are people supposed to be like, "Omg, that dude has a fancy steering wheel. Wow. I wish I had a STEERING WHEEL as cool as that guy so I could feel super fancy when turning left! And then - wait for it - I could feel fancy when I turn RIGHT too! AND when making a U-TURN! Oh, what a baller."
Because between that and thinking you are reckless, I really don't see the purpose of the photo. And clearly, any other message you were trying to convey (which, if you are truly artistic, should be the purpose of your work) was lost on the majority of the respectable population, so naturally, the shot is just idiotic.

So youre saying theres a purpose in a movie but not in Chris' photography? If its your opinion to prefer film but not photography i respect your right to have an opinion but to say someones hobby has no purpose, i just cant respect that. How about he just generally enjoys it? How about hes looking to build his profolio? Live and let live man, youre 43. Hes 19. smh

Because, genius, if it were in a film, there would be a purpose behind it - as, at least in a decent film, there's always a purpose to what is shown.
Perhaps to show that a character is careless, or perhaps during an action sequence if for some reason, say, a driver were to toss a spare steering wheel to another driver. Or if it were in an advertisement, there would be a clear and well-researched reason (by the marketing team, who would be able to clearly explain the exact reason) for doing so.
But just as some fun, irresponsible shot with no clear, supportable, artistic message merely to add to a photography portfolio is not a good reason to take a shot like this, and, ultimately, just shows the lack of skill in creating meaningful pieces.
