"Positioning" for Danger

Let's make this clear and simple: You should not be on the road if you don't know where you're going.

The recent advancements that have brought us choice in what we watch and listen to, have also resulted in a device called a "Global Positioning System", or GPS. If used correctly, this is the sort of machinery that can be put into very good use.

But drivers are buying these gadgets in increasing numbers, believing that it is appropriate to map out your journey while you are driving. And this is where everything becomes less of a pleasure, and more of a danger.

Ontario recently passed a law banning cellular phone use while the car is in motion, knowing that drivers are easily distracted on the road while using these devices. A GPS is no different in this regard, because anything that takes away the attention of the driver is a danger to himself, the public and safety in general, even if this is a way to make life easier.

What is the best way to drive? With both hands on the steering wheel, along with a sense of direction that is "configured" in advance.

Nothing beats the precision of a proper map, if you figure out your journey beforehand.
