Re: Garmin

Okay, I'd just read the research & sometimes the passengers can be helpful, but I agree with you that there are times when. . . . !

in EU (where I live) the cops have started monetising the locals "need-to-chat", it's now €500 per offence - to hold the phone in the hand - the spot radar installations are being allowed to rust as now a single cop in a car, with a notepad, is earning the village enough to pay his wages, and some left over for the mayor.

for some unknown reason everyone is still talking! muppets.

I have had an Alfa written off, in 1996, when an idiot crashed into the two cars behind me at the roundabout, then they both rippled forward with enough energy to bork my car. His excuse in the nineties was that his Nokia brick had just rung - it was natural to answer - so he didn't notice the tailback!

I still don't think the smartwatch will help road safety, but yes, the driver most certainly can.
