They could not!! how rude! And she is not that slow thankyou very much, just an average 40/50 mph that's all

Speed cameras. They distract me - cos I am looking at the speedo to not speed and not the road to not run over granny.

The most common word on this forum must be 'ban'

Nope in my experince bad, I had one guy nearly crash into my dad's car casue of the sat nav.

Had another guy neraly take me off looking at one, I had another guy nearly crash into cop car, do you know why? Becasue they were following the Sat Nav. I was like Sir why did you just missing hit us, becasue the Sat Nav said to go that way, which also was no entry, being a one way street.

I hate the dam things.

Well I know when I'm out on my bike that there's one less idiot suv driver out there to run me over while listening to his music and satnav
