As for the technology involved in wheels and frames, went too far in 1854.
Can you apply that to using a phone while driving as well !If you are coming out of a t-junction and looking left, who is watching the road to the right?
I don't stare at my GPS; I glance at it for about half a second at a time, and only when I am not looking at something more important such as a car coming straight at me!

I wouldn't object to a driver taking a 0.5 second glance at a phone screen to see who had just called or texted (if it was safe to do so). Reading or sending texts when driving, or making phonecalls... STOP FIRST!

Hey, I'm on your side
Lol, cheers!
It’s amazing how a very mild grammatical error is taken so out of context and how quick people are to jump on it!

What was stopping you going to 'new places' before your use of a GPS? Non-availability of mapping? Reluctance to explore?

I would because it's so unnecessary. There are phones now that can read out texts or caller names. There seems no need to read from the phone while the vehicle is in motion. I can only think of looking at a screen if it's showing you roadsign-style or map-style directions as being a valid reason.
