[QUOTE="BrownArmy, post: 582601, member: 18225"] Follow the methods (what part of the 340 is knowing the next 5 stops in advance?). If you know the next 5 (or 10) stops, you don't need to look at the DIAD while driving. Aside from slowing you down and sapping your attention, there's no upside... (full disclosure, I pull it out from time to time while driving, mostly to check the time or to respond to another inane center message, so I also need to check my safe/at risk behaviors)... Don't look at the DIAD while driving, or else you'll be like all the other people who seem like they don't know how to drive, until you realize they're texting. I'm amazed at the people who seemingly pull DUMB-*****-MOVES in front of my [B]?[/B]-ton BIG BROWN TRUCK, until I realize they're on the celly or texting. They didn't even see me. My thought is, it's going to hurt them a heck of a lot more then it's going to hurt me (if we got into an accident, that is). But we won't ever get into an accident, because I'm on my game and I'm a professional driver, and I won't be there for them to hit me and/or be in a place where I'll hit them before I can react. Don't hate the 5 and 10...the constant repetition is galling at points, but I don't even think about it in terms of management and their inopportune quizzes. It's actually good advice. [/QUOTE]
