Motorists are beginning to turn away from satellite navigation systems – not because they get stuck in a field or a river – but due to the fact that the voices which are used to give directions are found to be too annoying!!
A survey which was carried out by vansunited.co.uk spoke to 1000 commercial vehicle drivers, and found 25% of them do not use the systems because of the voices not the directions!
It did list that voices such as Sean Connery and Kylie Minogue would be voices that they would accept taking direction from!

For those of you who have not already been warned by your employer or colleagues, new penalties have come into force as of Tuesday 27th February for drivers who are caught using handheld mobile phones.
If caught, you will now receive 3 Penalty Points as well as a £60.00 fine.
However, those with hands free car kits are still not completely in the clear so extra caution must be taken – the same penalty will apply for drivers who are using hands free phones if the police think they do not have proper control of their vehicle!
