It isn't vital; it's convenient.
i assume it's actually vital in places like the US, where roads aren't designed so much as they grow like a fungus and thus you can quite literally have kilometers of traffic standing completely still.
Yeah especially on a long drive where due to traffic info I can save 30-45 mins or more on some occasions, I’ll take the privacy hit.
When you are travelling for 9 hours with little kids, avoiding a long traffic jam and saving an hour is vital
