Title: Motorist follows navigation orders, crashes car
Post by: Foxy Brown on October 23, 2006, 03:51:54 AM

A German motorist followed the command "Turn right now!" from his navigation system and crashed into a small toilet hut by the side of the road -- about 30 metres (yards) before the crossing he was meant to take. (http://news.scotsman.com/latest.cfm?id=1564622006)

SUV-Driver. Thats normal, they sit in their pseudo-jeeps and have eyes over the clouds. But have fear for every curve. I hate these cars on streets.

This boom for navigation is terrible. I have to delete the old directions as driver of our rental station. There are way of only 10-40kilometres programmed. Who the hell don't know a way, he drives in 5-30minutes?
Even a smart has this time a navigation. I hate ways over 5km with these walking-helps.
