	News: Are SatNavs distracting drivers? Yesterday we spent a day at a "Green Company Car Event" taking place at the Millbrook Proving Ground near Bedford. Aside from the opportunity to test drive a wide range of vehicles on the superb test track facility we did some valuable networking and discussed the industry view on driver safety. A few major companies have chosen to ban the use of mobile phones in car and some have gone so far as to request vehicle manufactuers remove Bluetooth options from their fleet specifications. A number of investigations have revealed how distracting a telephone call can be even if the phone is in a hands-free car kita nd there can be few occasions where a call is so important that it cannot be made/taken when stopped. But how do we feel about sat-nav? It's another device that can be distracting, should manufacturers lock out the menus and options once the vehicle is moving and is there anything else they can do to improve safety and reduce distractions?
