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.
They usually turn the screen off after a minute. It is still an offence similar to a mobile phone otherwise.
Sorry but you are mistaken. Its debateable whether using a satnav is an offence - that depends on plod and the beak on any given day. But the turn if off after a minute certainly is wrong. Its either an offence or not irrespective of how long it runs.
I didn't say turn it off, I said it turns itself off, so I am not wrong there. It is an offence if the police think it was distracting you from driving.
PS My mistake, A senior moment, I meant Dash-Cams!
