10 Australia road-trip tips

In terms of epic journeys, you’re not going to get much bigger than road tripping around the land Down Under.

Of course, with any journey of this size, you need to know a little about what you’re getting yourself into before…

Just read on CNN.com this morning about yet another way to provoke accidents on our roads: Ford cars are to be equipped with devices that will read your Twitter feed to you, and will convert your speech to text so you can tweet while on the road. While it's important to be able to alert the entire planet to the fact that you just passed a car accident on I-95, doing so may just provoke the next one... your own. And who will tweet for you then?

No worries, Elizabeth -- enjoy! But no more driving for you heute Nacht!

Well, I certainly don't have anything against nav systems -- I found one invaluable in Maui not long ago, for example. Just as long as it doesn't involve fumbling around while driving!

Not only is it a terrible idea (for road safety) but it is also illegal in some states. Illinois just passed a law making it illegal to text or look at the Internet while driving.
David Paul Appell January 7, 2010 at 11:45pm

Did anybody catch today's NYT piece re plans to install computer "infotainment systems" in car dashboards? Is there anyone who thinks this is a good idea? If even now I sometimes get a little nervous about getting on I-95 with all the idiots texting and putting on makeup and whatnot, what happens when they're looking at a restaurant review or squinting at the name off a song being played? Should be an interesting driving season this year...
