Satnav systems caused millions to drive dangerously

ITProPortal: Technology is always an easy target when it comes to finding a culprit for human mistakes; and the Satellite Navigation Systems or Satnavs do not escape from that implacable logic.

A survey carried out by Insurance Provider Directline showed that nearly 300,000 accidents (or near accidents) have been caused directly or indirectly by satellite navigation systems with a further 1.5 million motorists having performed sudden manoeuvres or changing direction due to their Satnav, which could have caused further crashes.

A whopping five million drivers have been sent the wrong end of a one-way street as some are arguing that Satnav could cause untold numbers of dead on UK roads.
