Years uggo when I got my first Cincinnati Microwave Passport radar detector, it was provided with a reprint of an article recounting a study done (not by them if I remember) showing drivers with radar detectors had FEWER accidents than others ...wonder if it's been studied with GPS devices?

But then I read something in a James Bond: "He switched off the autopilot that every good driver has...." (presumably he needed to concentrate on missile avoidance or something--I don't remember). I figured, well, then, I must be a good driver, and it didn't bother me anymore. And apparently James was right, because I haven't had an accident in over 40 years of driving. Anyway, Otto Pilot is why I use my GPS all the time, even if I'm going somewhere I already know. He prevents accidents but is less careful about getting off at the correct exit. Hilda gives me a fighting chance to end up in Baltimore as intended, rather than in Wilmington or Philadelphia or something. ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
