Maybe its age, maybe its just me, but I am finding that concentrating on driving is as much as I can do, and fiddling with sat nav or even talking on the hands off phone can be distracting. This morning, on my way to play race officer for a yacht race, I was talking to my race officer predecessor about tide, weather and the best course, and I went through some lights just as they were changing form orange to red.
This is a first for telephone ditraction but not for satnav which is why I use blue tooth and an earpiece rather than a screen when on the bike. I've seen truck drivers texting whilst their rig waves about the lane and I've had the same happen to me when using the sat nav.
As I said at the beginning , this maybe just me but I do wonder. I'm not a pious H&s type - far from it. My inclinations are always to ignore rules. But is using a satnav with a screen whilst the car is moving safe? I doubt it.
