I have no doubt whatsoever that you need someone to tell you how to drive.

Me, not so much.

You are on automatic pilot, don't forget to switch it off.

My pilot, yes.

I don't need a co-pilot when I'm behind the wheel.

Some of us are adults, I guess.

I think I would be safe in assuming that you only have a licence to drive an automatic car.

To you, "four on the floor", has a completely different meaning.

Of course not.

People doing things on their own, without help from others, is completely alien to you.

Nobody uses UBDs anymore?

Why would anyne buy a UBD when google maps does it on your phone?

I don't use a phone when I'm driving.

I'm a responsible motorist.

You, not so much.

There are Apps that talk to you set your destination then it will tell you turn left 200m turn right 100m etc until you reach your destination.

Hopefully they tell you when to breathe in, and when to breathe out too.

When I get in a car, I know where I'm going and I know how to get there - I don't need anyone telling me where or when to turn left or right.

I'm sure that's just more of your "look at me, I would never go to Bali" type posing but it does not line up with your previous post.

I still have one in the back pocket of the passenger seat in my car.

It's all I use.

Who really gives a rat's arse about what maps people use?

You are allowed to use a phone to navigate while driving. You just need to set it up first.

People who can't distinguish between etymology and entomology bug me in ways I cannot put into words.

Yes, I look in the UBD, memorise the route, put it back in the seat pocket, and then drive to my destination.

I've just never understood why people need to be told where to turn left, where to turn right, what exit to take on a roundabout, etc.

Look at the map, see where you need to go, then drive there.

Simples!

My car has its own all voice controlled.

Only problem is that it wants to argue with me and when it gets upset it tries to send me to Perth.

In fairness it only sends me to Perth when I swear at it. I will need to fill up 6 times to get to Eucla.

You can't do that with a phone? I can. I can also let it tell me what it thinks the best way and take directions if I choose, without breaking any laws.

You're posing again.
