One of the great benefits of not owning a car is not having to listen to such devices.  I understand they repurpose themselves when not used as such devices |

I have a device in the passenger seat that tells me when I'm going too fast. It also informs me of any potential lane deviation and the proximity of the car in front. My dad had one of those, but the navigation app was poor and led to increased tension. |

I think it is only natural to notice things such as signs on vehicles etc when driving. it shows observation skills and not being totally oblivious to the surroundings. if things like that distract you to the point of being dangerous, I suggest you post your driving licence back to the DVLA. I will often pass a vehicle, signed or unsigned, car or truck, which will later pass me, or I will pass again after taking a rest break for instance. I will recognise it, sometimes by its VRM. I was never distracted in doing so, but just observing vehicles as I drive, rather than concentrate on the bonnet of my car like a lot of folks seem to do. On my long journeys, I frequently see lorries labelled "Forest products". They either have many more vehicles than one might guess, or their drivers know some very effective shortcuts.
