I find that to be true, and actually consider this an advantage of GPS. I remember being super careful not to miss turns before it, because getting back might be difficult or confusing in some cases.

Now, I don't care so much. GPS can route me back pretty easily if I miss anyway.



This is the attitude we need collectively. It no longer matters as much to miss a turn, GPS will optimize the best route moving forward.

Some people are however, still unwilling to be delayed no matter the danger.


Depends on the circumstances. On a roundabout, the cost of missing an exit is minimal. On a highway, it’s often 30km, and can be much higher (we once missed an exit and ended in Mexico on a 3hour illegal detour).


I can understand that, but I don't that it takes a lot of attention to keep from missing highway exits that are far apart.

It does still happen sometimes, though.


Still not sympathetic. That's no reason to put someone's life in danger.
