I feel dumb whenever people are telling me road names, of even major roads. Like, I know the turns to take to get to a couple regular places, who’s got the time to check out the street sign while watching traffic/turning?
You don’t hear the road names when your GPS tells you where to turn? I’m shocked by how many people are unfamiliar with major roads in their city. I’ve met people who couldn’t even tell me what crossroads they lived at. To me, part of learning to drive meant making a note of the road names near me so I was familiar with locations based on road names.
Which savage listens to the gps? Turning off the sound is the first thing I do. Although I have been considering getting a snoop dogg voiced gps or maybe Douglas Hedley (the philosophy professor from Cunk).
I live in the country - I know what road I live on and the couple connecting roads, but not the roads around the city a ways away that has my regular places, or the big highways I’ve not really had much reason to use. I don’t really drive all that much, and once I learned how to get to my usual places from the GPS (which did say the names) then I knew which turns to take and didn’t need it, so I never heard the names after that. They’ve just not been all that relevant to me getting places unless someone tries to give me directions that way, where it’s almost always easier just to have an address.
Granted I’m not much of a fan of driving really, I avoid it if I can which makes being in the middle of nowhere a bit more inconvenient heheheh

I’m not old either, I’m in my early 20s.

My GPS stays silent. Glancing at the map is less distracting for me.
