I could not agree more! Another one that bothers me is on a really dark night and I am approaching construction and the lights are shining into my eyes and then I have to maneuver around barricades. If it is a straight shot it is not a problem as I can glance to the side.

I also have a pedometer on my phone. What I wanted to find out though was how many steps do I get in a day. The Up registers each time we go into a truck stop to us the facilities, when we load or unload, when we fuel. I of course was a LOT more optimistic then my Up has told me. The goal...
