tions. While navigating, adriver is responsible for noting all traffic signs

responsible for operating the vehicle in a safe manner. Vehicle
operators must maintain full surveillance of all pertinent driv-
ing conditions at all times. An accident or collision resulting in
damage to property, personal injury or death could occur if the
operator of a GPS-equipped vehicle fails to pay full attention
to travel conditions and vehicle operation while the vehicle is
