    In my case, it’s dangerous because I’m suddenly distracted from the road by trying to figure out where I’m supposed to be going in the immediate moment. I’m on the spectrum, and on-the-fly changes of plan spike my anxiety - nothing I can do about that except work around it. That isn’t a personal fault, I’m keeping myself and other people safer on the road.

    So I’m gonna keep using the GPS even when I know where I’m going, that way if I realise I’m gonna miss my exit I don’t panic and instead can keep going with the confidence that the GPS will re-route me and I’ll have time to be in the correct lane for the next one.
