And here I was thinking I’d like a GPS driving assistant type device…

Motorists who seem to turn off their brain when switching on their car's satellite navigation system have had a number of spectacular crashes in the past year…
Hmm…you mean when I don't think about driving, I become more dangerous?
In southern England a 29-year-old woman survived unscathed after misreading her satnav and driving the wrong way on a motorway near Portsmouth at nearly 120 km (75 miles) per hour, according to a local newspaper.
When stopped after 22 km of dodging oncoming traffic, she told police she had only followed the satnav orders.
I can understand how difficult it is driving in a new location,I wasn't having fun driving around JFK on Long Island, let me tell you that…so many god damn roads running side by side, exits, on ramps, jesus what a crazy place. I was thinking a satnav would make it easier…which it might, as long as I don't make the mistake of resting soley on its decision making powers…
