What is it with all the distracted driver lately.

Traffic in my area is 6x what it used to be and drivers are more aggressive. Was sitting at a red traffic light on the four lane by Walmart. Dude in the lane beside me floored it when the light turned green. Guess he was too distracted to notice the state trooper behind him.....

You can get up to speed as fast as you want. It's going over that speed that will get you a ticket.

How many people are more concerned about the GPS screen or talking on phone vs looking through the windshield? From what I have observed it seems like a growing majority of drivers are.

My display in the truck is about 6" so I got a really good view when I have maps up.

For me, it's a glance at the screen about the same lengh of time as it takes to check the speedometer. Then i'm back looking ahead, checking mirrors, checking gauges, glancing at the back up camera to make sure my trailers still good, etc.....

Dftodd what truck have you got to be able to use the backup camera like that when hauling a trailer ? I,ve got a 2020 F150, but as far as I know, I don,t think I have that nice feature.

Our service trucks and flat beds have after market back up cameras installed when the trucks were outfitted.

The newer ones also have blind spot cameras as well that come on when the turn signal is activated.

The camera is triggered by the back up lights normally, but you can also turn it on manually by pressing the power button on the display that replaced the rear view mirror.

Our 2023 dodge service truck, you can press a button on the dash and it will pop up the factory backup camera on the factory display.

Newer vehicles come with that same feature as the 23 dodge. My wife's 23 santefe has that same button on the console you can push to activate the rear backup camera while your driving.

Our shop f150s have it as well 23 thru 25 year models.
