Question 7952

Looking up an address on the GPS navigator while driving, can it be dangerous?

  1. Only if the GPS navigator is located very far from the driver's seat.
  2. Yes, because the driver gets distracted.
  3. No, because it helps you drive more safely.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Yes, because the driver gets distracted.

Yes. While looking up an address, you look at the screen instead of the road and steer with only one hand, like the driver in the image. It does not matter where the navigation device is, and operating it while moving is prohibited. Look up your destination before setting off.
