Sat Nav the cause of accidents

Not paying attention?
Maybe when they are in their cars people should concentrate on driving instead of playing around with their toys such as mobile phones and sat nav equipment. All too often you hear of accidents caused by people not paying attention.

My gripe is about car drivers who use satellite navigation systems and just don’t pay attention to the road or other road user around them.

| 20-4-2008 | Mike P you talk crap man. Just drivel with no point who cares how you use your sat nav. Get a life. | Hoodie Boy |
| 09-4-2008 | Hi Nikki,
Its the 'used correctly' that is the problem, the no brainers popping down the road to get whatever, needing to be told left from right and when! | Shy Vera |
| 24-3-2008 | I am one of those rare women who are actually quite good at reading maps ... and I have a very good sense of direction, both in a car and on my feet. Recently OH purchased a sat nav, I was dead against it because I thought it to be an utter waste of money when I am more than capable of reading an o...more | Nikki |
| 24-3-2008 | Like most things, SatNavs are a great device when used properly. With the volume of traffic and the state of many roads it can be both difficult and dangerous to find a safe stopping place to read a map, so if you are on your own or with someone who can't read a map (ie most women, sexist I kn...more | MikeP |
| 24-3-2008 | So you're on a bike and you overtake when there's a turning on the right? Suicidal or what? Ok the car driver is in the wrong, but as a bike rider personally I'd rather stay alive. Fully agree about SatNavs. QVC and Ideal world crazily demonstrate them in the MIDDLE of the windscreen!! | Matthew |
| 24-12-2007 | To be honest lads n lasses I use a Sat Nav for my work when I get callouts to domestic properties & i'm unfamiliar with the area I find myself in.
However I do observe the road & not the Sat Nav screen. I only listen to the spoken instructions.
Some of the people you are on about are n...more | Andy Evans |
| 07-12-2007 | Hi, this is moving off topic is it not! I do agree with youthough Brian.
Satnavs are great as a tool but do they need a screen if you have the audio instructions? I think not. You cant look at the screen and the road.
No brainers become dependant on it because they dont have to think anymore.

There's nothing wrong with overtaking a car doing 20mph in a 40 zone whether you're a on a bike, in a car or anything else. | Brian C |

| 20-9-2007 | Satnavs may not be dangerous but they do encourage dangerous activities. Why, when you have a spoken list of instructions do they need to have a screen that encourages the driver to look at it. Often the satnav itslef is positioned anywhere but in the line of direct ahead vision! Even those fitted b...more | Shy Vera |
| 29-8-2007 | Sat-nav's are not dangerous, they are just a tool. It's the numptys who don't have any common sense (a very rare commidity!) who are dangerous. I use my TomTom700 when I'm going somewhere unfamiliar, and I find it gives me more time to observe the road & other drivers, as opposed...more | 4x4's 4ever |
| 12-6-2007 | Sat navs are dangerous and for people who cant read.
I have been driving cars and articulated lorries for over twenty five years in the uk and on the continent and by just using maps.
Simple really. you stop in a services or lay by look at the map and off you go. If you are really stuck, stop and ...more | sambob |
