You have been cautioned

77 days ago I bought a new car with a built in navigation system. I dont know why it tickles me so, but for the past 77 days at least twice a day I have to push the ok on this warning. Each time I laugh at "keeping your eyes and mind on the road".

(They've never driven with me huh Ruth?)

My favorite part of this screen is the terrible layout.

The lack of space between the paragraphs makes me nuts.

Hands on the wheel is plural...who besides new drivers keeps both hands on the wheel?

Isn't there a way to bypass this screen? Aren't you an IT person?

ha ha! I go through the same routine with Carmen. Her layout is much more professional, though. And it's black text on white background with a big blue OK button, so you're not so distracted while driving and reading it ;)

I will be willing to hit the caution agreement for the rest of my life as I am so grateful that I finally don't get lost!!!!!!

Keeping your mind on the road is much harder for people than they realize.

I know several people that think very hard as they are passing their exit.

A couple weekends we had a GPS that we borrowed, and we got that stupid message all the time.

Still my favorite:
Recalculate, BITCH!

i can't imagine something like this in my car. I don't know what I would do with it.
