CityCyclingEdinburgh was launched on the 27th of October 2009 as "an experiment".
IT’S TRUE!
CCE is 15years old!
Well done to ALL posters
It soon became useful and entertaining. There are regular posters, people who add useful info occasionally and plenty more who drop by to watch. That's fine. If you want to add news/comments it's easy to register and become a member.
RULES No personal insults. No swearing.

Infotainment is OK, but safety first
Given all this hoopla, it’s interesting that the Accenture study, which surveyed 7,000 people in seven countries, found that while drivers definitely want better communications and infotainment at their disposal, safety was their primary concern. That points out the inherent challenge of in-vehicle entertainment. How safe is it really to update your Facebook status while driving?

SatNavs stuck to the windscreen (I really hate that) is one thing, but now that Smartphones can do navigation these are going to be stuck to the windscreen instead.
Then it's easy to just quickly read that txt that has just come through. Check latest on Facebook at the lights. Before long you'll be playing Angry Birds in the outside lane of the motorway.
Maybe it's not so bad. People do all that stuff now with the phone in their hand!
On HTC droids (other smartphones are available) the phone goes into a "Dock" mode where only those things you are allowed to do while driving (navigation, hands-free calls) are available on big buttons.
