They talk a lot about how dangerous it can be to talk on the phone while you're driving (or to put on makeup, or get a b***j** or whatever).
But we haven't heard anything yet about how dangerous it can be to fiddle with the Nav.
Not that I've heard of anything bad, but I must admit that early on I did have a couple of close calls. I mean, even besides the temptation to plug stuff in to help you get where you're going, there are so many ways to play with this toy. Like, "Hey, I wonder how many miles it is from here to Boulder?" -- so you start punching it in, just to see.
You might say that anybody knows better than that. Well, yeah. But really, it's tempting -- and I had to lecture myself about it a couple of times. Sorry if this is sounding like a public service announcement, but that's kind of why I'm saying it, because you just KNOW that sooner or later we're going to hear about bad accidents that happened because of fiddling with Nav, not just in the TSX but in any kind of car with Nav. Let's make sure it's not us.
I wonder if anyone else has had close calls, and if anyone else has had to lecture himself about it like I have.
