GPS may be driver hazard

The Sydney Morning Herald reports the GPS devices may be a driver hazard. Sigh everything is a potential driver hazard – passengers, radio, drinking water etc etc. In the future almost all cars will have GPS so people need to get used to having them.

My GPS is a particular hazard though. I was telling a friend of Noelle McCarthy’s last week that I have it programmed to speak to me in an female Irish accent so it will sound like Noelle. One has to resist the temptation not to drive down the wrong street just so the GPS will tell you in a strong yet lilting voice to do a u-turn immediately 🙂
