On Monday, we posted a blog about a study that showed using a GPS device can help you save gas. But did you know that same study also said it can help you remain unstressed while on the road?
According to the Virginia Tech Transportation Institute, 72 percent of drivers felt less stressed when they were using a GPS device while driving. In addition, the study also showed that nearly 60 percent of the drivers tested said they could focus on the road better when they used a GPS device.
One of the ways it helps you focus more is by telling you where roads are and when to turn. How many times have you almost hit another car because you were looking for street signs that were too small to read? A GPS device eliminates that because it tells you exactly how far away the street is. Even though you may need to glance at the device once in a while, you can still focus on the road and look at the device only when it’s safe to do so.
How many of you have a GPS device? Has it made your driving experiences more relaxed and enjoyable? If you don’t have one, why not visit your local Mercedes-Benz dealer and get a new or certified pre-owned vehicle that has one installed? It’s a great addition to any vehicle regardless of how much you drive around.
