Depends where you are. There's a few places here where being able to see where you're actually supposed to be going is essential and at least one or two where even if you do, you can still end up on the wrong road. Tom Tom's lane guidance can be helpful there.
Those are the worst. Makes me mad.
Go Raspberry Pi or Android. As long as too much crap isn't integrated with the audio which is an unfortunate trend.
That's pretty awful. One of the primary advantages of a GPS is the ability to tell it to find an alternate route if there is an obstruction up ahead. This is often in traffic that is moving slowly enough to operate the GPS safely and still pay attention but not slow enough to stop and park.
Maybe they'll just use the standard overreach and make the state implement the policy or not receive highway funds.
Have you seen how fast deer move? Even with 100% attention to the road, they can still get you.
(Not illegal in an emergency, obviously)
Pulling over at the side of an interstate/motorway is both dangerous and illegal.
My condolences on the door handles.
Around here they're used for disposing of trash. Just load up with garbage bags, drive 10 miles and at the end the bed is empty...
Trust me, if you ever have the turbocharger go out, you'll find it isn't about how you drive. It's an absolute requirement if you don't want really dismal performance. I understand that lack of them in the past is part of the reason diesels still have trouble gaining acceptance in the US. With that said, it is a lot of fun when it kicks in
It's all a conspiracy by Big Hybrid.
I prefer driving a manual over an automatic but a lot of that is about getting the most out of the vehicle. If the gears weren't a requirement for doing so, I suspect I wouldn't miss them. In fact, it would be even better as unless you're driving a CVT, you'll be off the peak of the powerband most of the time anyway.
Hill start was part of the UK driving test when I took it.
