General rules, techniques and advice for all drivers and riders•Rule 150
Avoid Distraction from In‑Car Systems
This rule is a legal requirement
There is a danger of driver distraction being caused by in-vehicle systems such as satellite navigation systems, congestion warning systems, PCs, multi-media, etc. You MUST exercise proper control of your vehicle at all times. Do not rely on driver assistance systems such as motorway assist, lane departure warnings, or remote control parking. They are available to assist but you should not reduce your concentration levels. Do not be distracted by maps or screen-based information (such as navigation or vehicle management systems) while driving or riding. If necessary find a safe place to stop.
💡Example
You must stay in full control of your vehicle and not let sat navs, screens, or driver assistance systems distract you. These systems can help, but you must still concentrate fully on the road. For example, if you need to change your sat nav destination, you should pull over in a safe place rather than trying to do it while driving along a busy dual carriageway.
