sm1mex Posted June 4, 2019 Report Share Posted June 4, 2019 In the states my 92 year old mother broke her hip and when she was able to walk with a walker, big trucks with shotgun racks in the back window were parked in the handicap places. Had to have a ladder to get up into the truck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmh Posted June 5, 2019 Report Share Posted June 5, 2019 I see an easy mordifa coing up for not having an fire extinguisher n the car or the emergency signals.. Is that something separate from the blinkers? In France you have to have all kinds of emergency stuff incluidng a yellow jacket.. I woner what that covers here...Anyone knows?

RVGRINGO Posted June 5, 2019 Report Share Posted June 5, 2019 Built-in GPS is legal, as you do not have to handle the gadget. Be careful anyway, as they can still be distracting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is not having a GPS, It's using one.. Entering an address while driving...that is distracted driving... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmh Posted June 5, 2019 Report Share Posted June 5, 2019 yes , this is how a woman destroyed my sister´s car .. fooling around with a GPS and rear ending her.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomgates Posted June 5, 2019 Report Share Posted June 5, 2019 In Mexico, and about half the states in the US, prohibit a GPS mounted on the windshield. That is why Garmin and others has a mount for the dashboard. My cell phone using Waze is mounted via a magnet attached to one of my ac vents.

Mainecoons Posted June 5, 2019 Report Share Posted June 5, 2019 My Garmin has trouble connecting unless it is under the windshield. I can't even reach it when driving, unlike the built in ones. One can fiddle with those easier than either the windshield mount or the car phone mount. Just sayin', the heads up is appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We went into that parallel universe this evening driving from Ajijic to San Juan Cosala where on the way there were transito police parked on both sides of the road standing outside with clipboard in hand staring us down looking for anything reason to flags us over.

slainte39 Posted June 6, 2019 Report Share Posted June 6, 2019 Maybe they were just looking for traffic law violations…….. People get upset when they don´t enforce and people get upset when they do enforce and other people think they pick on me and let the offenders go unchecked. Strange world!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
