Lock screen: configure multiple settings?

Newbie
Current settings:
Lock screen>Secured lock time>instantly with power key or when the screen times out
Display>Screen timeout>10 min

I'd like to create my own 'car mode' whereby I could indefinitely disable lock screen thereby providing access to voice commands/other 'easily' while driving. Any thoughts on app or perhaps creating a custom widget/macro/shortcut?.....thanks
 
Tasker. Disable (actually enable and invert) Keyguard. You can trigger it with a widget or by having it look for the car's Bluetooth name if you have Bluetooth in the car. (Or get an NFC tag, and have it trigger when it's near the tag.) If you're using Bluetooth or NFC, the exit condition would be to re-enable Keyguard (so the screen is locked gain when you're not in the car).

(You can also use your home Wifi as a trigger, so the screen is unlocked when you're home.)
