I wouldn't park there mate - Honda adds sat nav warnings
Quote: | Honda's latest innovation lets Japanese drivers know if they should be rolling up the windows and locking their doors, or if they've found the ideal spot to abandon their vehicle, by downloading local crime figures to their GPS unit. |
What next? I wouldn't buy a house here? I wouldn't eat there? |

Nice, I like that idea but I fear in some areas it would be easier to say where you 'could' park safely, much less data

Or better still, leave the car at home, cover it with pillows, bury your head in the sand, click your heals together and sing 'there's no place like home, there's no place like home!' _________________ Dom

The problem with this technique, although it does have some metits, is that it's now easier to steal your your car, or worse still, you are in the absolutely correct position to receive a smart kick in the b******s |
