I was on a charity DGR motorcycle ride today with 1500 others. 

I was stuck at a light for 5 mins because the traffic was snarled up and I looked over at the guy beside me and he had two 8 inch slim cylinders on his bars with a paper map wrapped around each - he manually scrolled the map up /down winding it from one cylinder to the other. I asked him about it - "analog GPS" he said, unjamable by the Russians. Wish I got a photo of it.

Was a fun day, and finished at a brewery with live music and food. Got wet on the way home

A 1500 strong group of lone wolves?

Give him a couple of weeks and he will know everything there is to know about truck driving, then the dog will eat the memory card.

Maybe he will see another vehicle in the distance and drive into a ditch. It happens.
