A police report shows that road in the Veneto region using satellite navigation systems while driving can be more dangerous than making a phone call or send SMS. Now there is more than an intuition but a fact, supported by the data also have not yet been formalized. According to ASAPS (the Association of Supporters and Friends of Police) is obvious as "distraction from the Navigator is rapidly climbing the charts of known or suspected causes.
In 2009 sull'incidentalità ranking indecision and lack of attention at the wheel are already on the second place with a 15.7% ". And to distract drivers, in addition to cellular and girls in short skirts, there is also the navigator, as shown by the figures of an English insurance company which has shown that 19% of motorists are distracted by the GPS and perhaps more that from the phone.
Of course, the phone, the computer, the navigator or even a bottle of mineral water are not dangerous in and of itself, but it can be used when driving or at a time when it would be better to have 2 hands, 2 ears and 2 to guide eyes engaged. Like any tool, in short, should be used judiciously: if the GPS may show up on the steps of Trinita dei Monti in Rome (as happened) it is better to desist.
Fortunately, however, cases like that happened in Spain last October - when a driver ended up in a lake articifiale following signs of a browser is not updated - they are the most unique and rare.
