A seal on a box of a nav system is not enough to stop people from being stupid and not paying attention to where they're going.]]>Mar 31st 2008 4:08PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/31/uk-department-for-transportation-to-set-standards-for-satnav-sys/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/31/uk-department-for-transportation-to-set-standards-for-satnav-sys/
If they didn't see a river, do you think they would have seen a child crossing the road?

The DfT should respond to such complaints by revoking the driver's license.]]>Mar 31st 2008 4:12PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/31/uk-department-for-transportation-to-set-standards-for-satnav-sys/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/31/uk-department-for-transportation-to-set-standards-for-satnav-sys/I DISCOVER IT FIRST, THAT´S A BLACK SLK WITH (OPTION) BLACK LEATHER INTERIOR, AND JUDGING BY THE ROOF (PAINT IS MINT CONDITION) IT´S A 2005-2007 MODEL.

sorry to burst your bubble, but that car is clearly too long to be an slk. My first thoughts was that it was an SL-series, which was proven true if you read the link which said the car is an SL500. ]]>Mar 31st 2008 4:55PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/31/uk-department-for-transportation-to-set-standards-for-satnav-sys/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/31/uk-department-for-transportation-to-set-standards-for-satnav-sys/Mar 31st 2008 4:57PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/31/uk-department-for-transportation-to-set-standards-for-satnav-sys/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/31/uk-department-for-transportation-to-set-standards-for-satnav-sys/
my thoughts exactly. that's definitely an SL. just a little "Reality Check" for y'all ;)]]>Mar 31st 2008 5:03PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/31/uk-department-for-transportation-to-set-standards-for-satnav-sys/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/31/uk-department-for-transportation-to-set-standards-for-satnav-sys/
The smart ones live, the stupid ones die.

If people cant use them reponsibly and the government's answer is to burden the mftr, not the idiot using it, then do away with them. Everyone got along without them the last 100 yrs and its obvious there are enough people out there who shouldn't have them (or their cars probably).

Or treat them like firearms or the car itself, make people get a license to have a cell phone or satnav in their car.]]>Mar 31st 2008 4:14PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/31/uk-department-for-transportation-to-set-standards-for-satnav-sys/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/31/uk-department-for-transportation-to-set-standards-for-satnav-sys/

The comment below this one was posted first, and should be up top. To clarify I posted an explanation and SOMEHOW that ended up ABOVE my first post?

Who the hell is coding for you guys!?]]>Mar 31st 2008 4:21PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/31/uk-department-for-transportation-to-set-standards-for-satnav-sys/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/31/uk-department-for-transportation-to-set-standards-for-satnav-sys/
Side note: When they pull that car from the river it will require draaaaainage! drainage!]]>Mar 31st 2008 4:19PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/31/uk-department-for-transportation-to-set-standards-for-satnav-sys/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/31/uk-department-for-transportation-to-set-standards-for-satnav-sys/

Now assume that several people, or a dozen or more, are all waiting idly by while this occurs. That's a lot of lost economic potential an dor relaxation time. Everyone loses.]]>Mar 31st 2008 4:24PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/31/uk-department-for-transportation-to-set-standards-for-satnav-sys/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/31/uk-department-for-transportation-to-set-standards-for-satnav-sys/Mar 31st 2008 4:21PM
