Driving & Sat Navs


If you’re planning to use the sat nav function on your phone always remember to set it before you set off on your journey.

Touching a sat nav or touch screen display at the wheel, takes your eyes off the road and your hand off the steering wheel, a dangerous combination which is likely to cause distracted driving.

Driving in this way risks a stop and prosecution for improper care and attention to the road, and also increases the potential risk to your life if you fail to see a hazard ahead.
