Also asked, are Sat Navs illegal on windscreens?
There is no specific law regarding the placement of a sat nav or phone holder but, as mentioned above, road traffic laws make it an offence to drive in a position where your view of the road or traffic ahead is obstructed. The best place to mount your sat nav is in the bottom right-hand corner of your windscreen.
Similarly, where can you legally put a sat nav? Dashboard – with the correct device holder you can mount your sat nav on the dashboard away from your windscreen. Low down – you can place your sat nav at the very bottom of the window – that way, most of the windscreen stays clear.
Accordingly, do HGV drivers use sat nav?
What isn't being talked about is the fact that HGV drivers have specialist sat navs at their disposal, not your garden variety car model that you can buy from anywhere. HGV sat navs are specifically programmed to work with HGVs, and as such make a much more effective companion.
