Well if people would go back to paying more attention to the road ahead rather than looking at their phones or doing other miscellaneous distractive things, there wouldn’t be a need for that stuff.
I get it, it does help but I guess to me, it’s just the way it’s promoted to how so many people look at it and treat it like it’s an alternative to be or an excuse to not be an attentive driver. It’s just like with that commercial that used to come on TV quite some time ago, the one that had the lady driving the little red car and she’s daydreaming about being on America’s got talent or whatever the stupid show was and the next thing you know while she’s singing away and not even oblivious to the fact that she’s driving a car, she’s being woken up out of her daydreaming haze to the sound of her car beeping at her and then applying the brakes so that she doesn’t plow into the stopped cars in front of her.
I guess I’m just too old-school to care for it and why I’m glad they make it to where you can at least turn this crap off but I guess that’s just me… Lol. At least one good thing about it, if you really want to call it that, a lot of insurance companies offer discounts to people who have cars that have that junk. I don’t know why because I would think a lot of people that have that would probably be a lot more prone to having an accident because they're not paying attention.
And no, I’m not judging you or your wife, by saying this but my wife would never say anything crazy like that because she knows how to drive.
