The family of a North Carolina man who died after driving his car off a collapsed bridge while following Google Maps directions is suing the technology giant for negligence
It seems like it was during the day as well. My guess is he was looking down at his phone and not up at the road.
Get a windscreen mount for your cellphone so you can quickly switch between checking the GPS and the road.
Whenever I use directions, I look over the whole route first so I have a fair idea of what the turns are going to be etc before I even put the car in gear. Then you’re kind of expecting what to happen rather than being surprised when a turn comes up.
I got mine from a Chinese dollar store for like $20 or less NZD. It’s really not expensive and you can’t put a price on safety. Even just wedging your phone between the dash and the windscreen using some blutak is effective.

Not everyone can afford a windscreen mount, but you’re not wrong, it would be good to have your GPS on or near the windscreen.
You’re telling us that someone can afford a car and a phone, but not a $15-20 Amazon suction cup or cupholder mount?
I use one of those that suction cup to your window except the bitch keeps falling off
