Nah, it's mostly the drive from the mailbox to the house. I don't have my dream garage yet...

Good call on the passenger seat, I may turn it back on for that purpose.

Don't worry, I always wear it on the street!

I prefer not to hear the warning as I'm moving cars around in the driveway/garage or between the mailbox and the house.

Well that's a good result. We tried it on a couple of cars and couldn't get it to work. Well done.
