Okay, okay, I like the suggestion and will take it. I usually always carry my cc IWB even when I drive but I want quicker access to my firearm if i
I need it while driving.

I suppose another aspect to consider is where you CC on your person. If you are 4-5oāclock, you may have easier access by leaning forward (for a criminal, it may look as though you are getting out of your vehicle - again, assuming itās a car jack) which may look more natural and give a slight edge deflecting the view of someone outside vs. leaning back and sliding forward to gain access in an appendix carry position, exposing your intention of accessing a firearm and lose any edge.
With my set up, the trigger guard isnāt necessary in the vehicle while having an empty chamber. The holder gives me the exact same amount of time to retrieve with or without a chambered round. Actually, Iāve found, racking the slide to retrieve my firearm is easier with the type of holder in my vehicles. It also allows me better purchase in hand which means I have greater control of my firearm (not a loose grip).
I will say, Iāve never been pulled over by LEOs. I know what I would do in the event I do get pulled over but after 35 years driving without being pulled over, I can only speak in hypotheticals. I guess it would also depend on the officer and the drivers attitude toward the officer.
Over all, practice what works best for you. Check with your local law enforcement offices on best practices for safety of yourself and officers, then be the guy they want to feel they could call for civilian back up.

Another commenter, Mosad for the Wilson Combat channel on YouTube says: from his LEO experience that reaching for his waste band carry was too restricted by his car seat even with the seatbelt released.
He favored a (BUG) Back Up Gun on the inside ankle opposite his dominant gun hand.
So, if right handed, inside left ankle hostler if seating in your car is a lot easier to access in that scenario.
He is not a fan of trying to access an ankle holstered gun while standing as it is too awkward.
He also favors shoulder holstered guns, and belly appendix carry positions for defensive tactics while seated in a car.
He gets into these details on his YouTube channel videos.
He speaks from vast experience and knowledge. And, is very informative.

Typically always AIWB in the car, except when I know Iām about to step into those anti-gun zones 
such as going to swim at the local workout place 
at which point it goes into the lock-box leashed to the car in the fairly-hidden floor compartment (YES, it came stock from the factory that way!)
I do have an 8-9 hour road trip family vacation this upcoming weekendā¦ thinking about OWB or in a holster clipped to the door pocket. If my 23yo-liberal leaning, bonus daughter wasnāt on the edge of considering the red-pill I might try the cup-holder ideaā¦

I wear a milt sparks iwb on a daily basis in and out of the vehicle. When in the vehicle I have my edc under my left thigh. That way no matter what the situation is it is always quickly accessible without trying to get it out of the holster. When exiting I grab it and return it to the holster as in getting out. Have been stopped by law enforcement in Illinois with it under my leg and never once gave the questioned it. When leaving the vehicle in an anti gun area I lock it up in a lock box attached to the vehicle.

Since Iām the passenger I put my weapon in the door console. All I have to do is reach down and I have it in my hand, almost like the spot was made for my weapon. Also have my K-Bar and a flashlight behind it.

I keep mine under my left leg. Pistol grip sticking out. Easily accessible if someone walks up on the truck.

On body in my AIWB holster with the seat belt between the back of the holster and my body.

In general I keep it IWB at 3oclock for short trips that I expect will be uneventful. I will adjust my cover garb to make sure itās accessible while seating and buckled though.
When I get to work, I have to disarm, so I lock it in a console vault (holster and all)
Itās easier to disarm than rearm inconspicuously,ā¦ so when I leave work, I will clip the holster inside the waistband of the seatbelt and have the gun AOWB of my pants while driving. ( I really donāt want to advertise that Iām storing a firearm in my vehicle overnight at work!)
When I exit, I will either move the holster to my pocket or back to my waistband behind the cover of the open door depending on my after work activities.

Accessible as in can be seen from the passenger side window 
If so, Iām a little weary about that in the event of a stop when the partner shows up on that side.
98% of my trips, doctors, groceries, gas and mail and such I consider uneventful. But crime doesnāt have a schedule.
So Iām try to figure the absolute best way to conceal and keep at finger tips. Each state also has its own unique laws on vehicular carry.
Iāve considered the under dash magnet, not a big fan, under the leg, but I never want to give anyone a reason to scream or shoot because they saw it in my car. Nor do I want to make ant furtive movements.
Holstered at 3 oāclock seems best when driving, gotta practice the whole seatbelt thing!

I donāt believe so, but I also havenāt been stopped while carrying as of yet.
Colorado does not have a duty to inform, and frankly Iād rather leave that question unanswered unless directly asked about it.
I have been stopped on my way to the renaissance festival, and while sleeping in my truck there,ā¦
Itās always been a question of if I had any āOTHERā weapons in my vehicle (beyond what they could see! 
)

There in lays the problem when driving!
A: your cover garb is strapped down by the seatbelt. (Easy fix shift it out of the way)
B: your firearm draw may be impeded by the straps.
I have cultivated my draw so I can fire through my door or windshield and drive off without having to unbuckle my seatbelt in case of hitting something harder than a protester!
The downside is I do have to adjust when I get out of my vehicle to reacquire concealment

This is part of why I do what I do while driving. With mine in the AIWB, I run the seatbelt behind the holster, then drop my shirt down over the top. When everything is arranged like that it just looks like my shirt came untucked from the seat belt. Youād never know there was a gun there unless I move my shirt to access it, which I can do just as quickly as a draw from concealment while standing.
