Comment on Google sued for negligence after man drove off collapsed bridge while following map directions
luthis@lemmy.nz 1 year agoIt seems like it was during the day as well. My guess is he was looking down at his phone and not up at the road.
Get a windscreen mount for your cellphone so you can quickly switch between checking the GPS and the road.
Whenever I use directions, I look over the whole route first so I have a fair idea of what the turns are going to be etc before I even put the car in gear. Then you’re kind of expecting what to happen rather than being surprised when a turn comes up.

Not everyone can afford a windscreen mount, but you’re not wrong, it would be good to have your GPS on or near the windscreen.

You're telling someone can afford a car and a phone, but not a $15-20 Amazon suction cup or cupholder mount?

I use one of those that suction cup to your window except the bitch keeps falling off

I got mine from a Chinese dollar store for like $20 or less NZD. It’s really not expensive and you can’t put a price on safety. Even just wedging your phone between the dash and the windscreen using some blutak is effective.
