Sat Nav's cause accidents

In a survey by a leading UK insurer, Sat Nav systems have been a contributory factor in thousands of accidents in recent years. The survey also uncovered that over 1 million drivers admitted that they had made sudden and in some cases dangerous manoeuvres following an instruction from their system.

Many drivers rely on these devices, with a particularly high usage level amongst couriers. It is recommended that users of these devices are not lulled into following the devices ‘Parrot fashion’ and being led into potentially dangerous situations.
