no they're not!! they are great, as long as you set it before you leave. and most of them re-route automatically.

recalculating!

isn't there a saying that shit always happens in threes?? well there is now

Turn left here. Recalculating. TURN RIGHT NOW!

That is what you get for using gps while driving!

2 no right after OP rear-ended the car it said "recalculating" in that British demonic voice -.-

Just because they rear end someone (on ACCIDENT) doesn't necessarily make them an idiot. Accidents happen.

Accidents happen when you look at your phone or your GPS instead of paying attention to the road.

lol ur gay

How is he gay? He's re's right, people are idiots and try to multitask and cause traffic jams. It's annoying

Accidents like this don't just happen, #8. Terrible drivers cause them. A non-idiotic, good driver would not be this distracted on the road full stop.

Foe, accidents like this DO just happen...to idiots who drive while smoking and talking on the phone and changing the radio station and searching for an alternate route on their GPS so they can shave 2 minutes off their commute. Fucking imbeciles. Put the gadgets down and DRIVE, goddamned twits. You're behind the wheel of a 2000 kg weapon. Remember that.

Apparently, the rate of accidents have actually remained the same, but now people crash for different reasons...like being an idiot and staring at your gps as if you're suddenly a ghost and can pass through solid objects.

Fun fact: they actually make hair straighteners (flat irons) that PLUG IN TO THE CIGARETTE LIGHTER. The cigarette lighter! In case you're running late?! Are you kidding me?!?! I saw them when I was shopping for new products to stock at the family salon... It is so ridiculous, these things can WAIT; that text is not going to disappear, your phone will not explode, the GPS will auto-reroute, and for God's sake, you can have curly/messy hair for a day. That's what ponytails are for. Gosh. =]

Edit: I know that there is a possibility that a passenger could be the one using it, but it didn't look that's who it was marketed towards. And, really? Is it THAT necessary? That's a mild distraction for the driver in itself, someone with defrizzing spray, with her arms moving all over the place, obstructing the view out of the passenger window.. I just wish people would stop trying to multitask so much. Driving is dangerous enough as it is; even if you're a good driver, you should be prepared that everyone else on the road is an idiot.

Agreed. Luck had nothing to do with the collision. OP, you're an idiot. Either you were actually messing with the GPS while in motion or you can't keep your foot on the brake when distracted. Y completely DI and F the L of the person you hit.

I agree, your life sucks.

oh.my.gosh. south Florida drivers are absolutely horrible! the worst ever.
