I find it odd, that in the age of GPS, I still find myself behind folks who will slow down for intersections (usually on a two lane road w/ no dashed lines for passing) as if they're unsure if the road coming up is the road they need to turn onto

I do that because I still find Google to have rather weird estimations on when to turn.

"Oh turn on ash Street in 200m? Okay. Wait, Ash Street is this coming street in like 50m, isn't it? Better slow down and check"

Especially bad after there's been construction. They added an exit to a highway near me, and for months afterwards the GPS was sending me out the wrong exit.

Fair point, I hadn't considered that perspective. I've been using Waze, and I rarely get above 40mph when using it, so I usually have tons of warning and time, but I can see how folks can be cautious
