Every time I read this sort of thing in the news or on forums, two words come to mind. And their not Sat Nav - you wouldn't let me post them, I'd be banned for life, or maybe 2 weeks. 
'Stunned' driver? If a driver is stunned, they should see a doctor, they shouldn't be driving.
Oh, well. There's no point going further.
Back to the single malt and big fat gypsy weddings.
Cheers, Bob

"big fat gypsy weddings"
Dear God. It's bad enough i can hear its dolcet tones creeping up the stairs but to then go and sully this forum with that program! I call for a one month ban - during which you can use those two words as much as you like!
I know these stories are old hat and all the same but it does help explain a few of the things i have to put up with each day..... |

It's OK, I've taken the tablets, watching a recording of Time Team in Holland.

"In 300 yards, turn right". So they turn right in 30 yards, crash into some stuff then walk away dribbling about how the "sat nav directed them into a driveway" or some such.
If the sat nav told them to drive of a cliff, - hey, there's an idea for getting the muppets off the road!

Hey here's a thought, I had an accident before Christmas as the car slid on black ice and snow. Maybe I should have blamed the satnav when the insurance comapny asked me was I responsible!
I think there maybe a question of setting an IQ test before allowing these Muppets to buy a Satnav in the first place! or maybe new instructions are required. At the end of the road, look left, look right and then drive into the nearest building. What fools!!!!! |

as they were elderly perhaps their hearing wasn't up to scratch and they simply didn't hear the last '0'?

I hope not! One day my TomTom will go pop and I'll need a new one.  |
