Some of this lawmakers need to take some college classes. With your head straight forward your peripheral vision still covers a 20% angle. With your head slighty turn you have a 150 peripheral vision angle. The GPS is not straight in front on your vision plus you have a voice aid.

The only state that you not allow to have a radar detector!

NOW, you can get a ticket for having a GPS affixed to your windshield...
99% of GPS are designed to be affixed to the windshield in this nation. I could not believe this when I saw it in the evening News, I thought I was dreaming.

I have a Modshack modded GPS mount for the Z but this is freaking ridiculous.

I cannot wait to get the F*CK out this state!

Yes, I'm venting because this is the last drop the overflowed the glass.

Don't move to Cali. They have that winshield mounted is against the law $hit too! I bought a beanbag mount for my GPS when I was on travel out there.

Touring with Nav... Problem solved.

I'll be here all week!!!

I know me personally, when I must drive through virginia going on long road trips, I would pull my radar completely off the windshield including the bracket, and while Im driving I'd hold my radar in the palm of my right hand and continue to use it while driving, and if it goes off, I'll conceal it. And if I happen to get pulled over, which hasnt happened, I'd quickly remove it from the cigarette lighter plug and throw it behind the seat.

Those clowns arent getting me with that crap.

How about getting ticketed for swearing on the boardwalk/beach. That's my favorite VA law...

Yes problem solved, however you are taking your vision for a few seconds to look down. However it should have a voice aid to, I don't have a Touring with NAV so...

I rarely look at the GPS with the voice aid no need to and I placed it off my frontal view, low on the windshield.

It has voice aid. Pushy little b*tch... Never stops nagging me the whole trip...

Turn left in a 1/4 of a mile, turn left in 400 feet, make the next legal U-Turn...

Blah Blah Blah...

You know you can turn that off, right? I finally did that after it pissed me off so much. Using the nav system in DC is basically worthless. It basically just tells you you're going the wrong way every five seconds.

I always find it funny how you can immediately tell that you're in VA by the number of complete pieces of **** on the road around you. There is no way that any of these cars would pass DC or especially MD inspection. Why bother even having a safety inspection if everyone can just pay off their local garage to get a sticker?

That's funny, because it's really MD that's the shithole of a state. When I cross the river on 495 into MD I just want to GTFO. Everyone starts driving crazy and there are all these pieces of **** on the road that couldn't pass an annual state safety inspection in VA to save their lives. Not to mention you're 10000x more likely to get shot in MD/DC than Nova. haha.

This is true. But I'd rank the horribleness 1) MD 2) DC 3) VA.

495 in MD is like a junior-level NASCAR race at Talladega. Only there is no safety car and it never ends.
