I know I shouldn’t, but when I see crap stuck to a windscreen, I think, crap driver and/or moron, engage evasive manoeuvres.
Why so ewn? Why does a satnav or camera make a crap driver or moron? (as long as they’re not right in front of the drivers vision of course).
Personallly I hate to see beads/smell diffusers/babies shoes/lucky charms etc hanging from the rear view mirror as they sway around and must be more distracting.
Even I know it’s a stupid assumption, but it’s probably directly related to how visible the devices are, as to how poor the driving will be. So you’re right, it’s not the devices as such, if they’re inconspicuous then I won’t be able to make an irrational opinion about the driver.
The dashcams do serve a useful purpose, but not if the driver is more interested in other people’s actions than their own. YouTube clips are quite addictive, but I often think the guy with the dash cam is worse than the other motorist who has has simply misjudged and could do with an accommodating reaction from the filmer , rather than deliberately trying to inflame a situation.
Satnavs aglow, visible from a mile behind on a main road, I don’t understand either. If they have fifty miles to go, why not turn the thing off, look out the windscreen and pay attention to what’s going on around you.
Please also remember, this is only the internet and I’m only an idiot having a cup of coffee, My opinion isn’t gospel and I’m likely to change it at the drop of a hat anyway.
So don’t worry, I generally like to think the best of everyone I meet until proven otherwise.
