Using Satnavs "on The Go"
I am a bit unsure about the legal situation here.
If I am using my SatNav, in a windscreen holder, can I input new info, cancel, etc, etc, when I am actually driving, or would I need to pull in, switch the engine off and do it ?

On a related subject.....I was listening to "Broadcasting House" this morning, and Paddy was present when two people were apprehended for using Mobile phones.
In this day and age, there are plenty of devices that you can buy that will allow you to use a Mobile hands-free without breaking the law. I have a small, not very high-end Fiesta and it comes complete with bluetooth hands-free.
So why are people still running the very real risk of losing their licence, with this new law that has come in ?
