Rich T finds some tasty titbits you might have missed in the week's news

Motorists who use satellite navigation are to be offered cheaper car insurance by the RAC. Apparently those who regularly use sat-nav are safer drivers, according to the motoring organisation.

"It means you don't have to constantly look at road names, warning signs and so on," the RAC said in an article on VNUNet.

Let me get this right. If you don't look which way you're going, and you ignore warning signs, preferring to stare deeply into a minute device on your car's dashboard, you're less likely to crash?

Get real. What will we have next? Cheaper insurance for people who use their mobile phone behind the wheel?
