Just one more inch from govt running your life !!

Local police are giving tickets for having a GPS in the lower middle of the windshield, It seems the peoples republic now demands they be placed in the lower left hand side of the windshield. That should make driving on the highway a little bit harder as it obstructs the view of the lane lines just a little.

Time to vote these clowns out !!!

They should enforce laws they already have instead of coming up with new shit.... ya know like people littering outta their cars and all that.

So now I have to run the wire across the steering wheel/dash to mount the GPS...that makes sense I don't know why I never thought of that!

I believe California currently has a law that prohibits people from mounting the GPS anywhere but the lower left of the windshield. First I've heard of NJ requiring that.

Why must NJ be sooooo CA wanna-be-ish??? I certainly dont want CA's probs which are quite extensive. At least they got the beach. All we have is 'Snooky' (from NY) :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:

What? You drive a vehicle with no dashboard?

I drive a vehicle with a dashboard, but I guarantee if its not bolted down its not staying there for long.

I love it when you hear on the news about some JO who drove into a lake because his GPS told him to. :clap:

Ohh you wouldnt BELIEVE some of the things drivers do because of their GPS's. The Industrial area of my town is apparently a Comlete Dead zone for GPS signals,.....people get down there and will literally drive around for an hour in circles, staring at the stupid thing.

Well, I guess if you're running a sand rail out in Arizona, that's possible, but you'd be surprised how well that mount sticks on the dash. I certainly was. Besides, if you're jerking around like Jimmie Johnson you already know where you're at and don't need a GPS.

I can only speak to the system in the 07 BMW X5, the one in a '10 Mini Clubman and the one in an '09 Acura. The controls STINK! They work, no question...they also have dead reckoning that works underground or where signals are blocked but entering the destination, setting routes, finding frickin anything flat out sucks donkey balls.

I think he means it will get stolen

Went to a Garmin and I will never go back.

I guess I'm oldschool, I still use a damn road map.

Is that why you're always late?
