    One more long weekend under our collective belts. Many of us are returning from vacation spots refreshed from a few days of camping, relaxing, and socializing in places we don’t normally call home. Myself, I’m still tired from trying to pack too much into the extra day.

    While some of us gather around lunch rooms to chat about how much fun our time off was, others unfortunately, are dealing with the hardship of loved ones not returning home after the weekend.

    Here’s a quick thing to look at and consider this Monday. It’s something I blogged about before X-Mas, but it’s prevalent in 2010. With the new ban on cell phones and other electronic device in place, there seems to be conflicting messages going on inside our vehicles. Do I drive safe, or do I play with my numerous new devices available to me? CBC’s Marketplace program did some interesting investigative work on GPS systems in cars and how much of a distraction they are.

     

    If you have a GPS device in your vehicle, how long do you take your eyes off the road to use it?
