Cevap

Pull over and stop in a safe and legal place before altering the navigation settings.
According to the Highway Code, any adjustment to in-vehicle technology, such as satellite navigation, should only be carried out when the vehicle is safely parked in a legal and suitable location. Attempting to program devices while driving distracts your eyes, hands, and mind from the driving task.

The vehicle is safely brought to a complete stop away from active traffic flow.
Stopping safely removes any risk of divided attention on the roadway.
