Part of the Driving Test nowadays - following a SatNav.A brief respite twixt rain showers allowed me to get a few miles in. Following a driving school learner driver at one point and they had a working satnav setup on the dashboard. What's going on there? Instructor on his/her tea break?

Did you do a follow up search for 'grinding' ?

Well I never.
Tempted to make a smart-a**ed comment, but I suppose it makes sense, given how potentially distracting they can be.

They should make updating your Facebook status and parking on the zig zag outside the school part of the test as well.

My chainsaw is sitting neatly on some newspaper in the back porch. It needs a bit of cleaning.
Today I have:
Mrs P arose at 11.00. Went to Next. Came home. Had lunch. Went out to Beginner's crochet.
As she left from the porch came "How much longer do we have to live with this chainsaw?"

I could be wrong, but, I think finding your way from A to B is part of driving test now, not sure if that includes use of a SatNav?

If not used correctly, they can be distracting, but, not nearly as distracting as referring to a paper map, whilst driving!
Fantastic bit of Tech, the Sat-Nav (IMHO), but, just like a computer, it is no substitute for a bit of common sense.

😲 In another context I might be inclined to be making a call to the local CID.
