I've been driving a new Insignia for a few days - nice car but it's like driving a pill box (2nd world war machine gun post) - you peer out through an oval back window and around huge front pillars. Adding to the awkwardness is a tall driver's seat to perch upon - and this is the SRI.
Anyway my real moan is, I followed a driving school car here today, a Corsa which I suspect suffers from the same (modern car) hindrance to visibility as the Insignia.
Attached to the windscreen, to the right of the centre line of the car, creating a wonderful blind spot was a sat nav! Surely city driving learners have enough to look out for without sat nav - doesn't the instructor give directions!!
It was definitely a learner by the hesitation and car postioning. How on earth can driving standards improve if they start out by obscuring visibility. I suppose I should be thankful that RED driving school might use sat nav but don't have dangling dice!!
As a member of the Institute of Advanced Motoring I hope that the instructor is not one of the minority who are IAM assessed!
Sorry for the rant but sometimes (most times) I despair of the robots on our roads!!
