GPS takes drivers on a scenic route -- to trouble
Long before it happened to Michael Scott on 'The Office', GPS systems have rewarded their users' blind faith by leading them into harm's way. A rash of incidents have occurred in the past year, including a British woman who drove her Mercedes into a river, a Swiss trucker drove down a pedestrian walkway, a New York man's car was hit by a train after cruising onto tracks, and two truckers who found themselves wedged in tight spots in two separate locations. Please, people -- pay attention to the road signs before someone really gets hurt.

HA HA HA!!! I was one of the idiots that had something similar happen to me. I was in a small town outside of my home town of San Antonio, TX. The GPS said to turn down this County Road so I was like ok who am I to argue with the GPS. It started off as a gravel road abd it was raining but the road eventually turned muddy and i was like no way am I gonna keep going. I tried to turn back around and wouldn't you know I got stuck in the mud. I called for a tow truck and when he got out there he was like ummm if I go out there I will get stuck too. Sorry pal he said you're on your own. I was out there from 4pm and with my brothers help who I called to come out, I got out at MIDNIGHT!!! This had the makings to be a Horror movie as well. HA HA HA GPS systems gotta love them.

Silly writers - people have done these things countless times for .... drum roll...rim shot... no reason at all! i.e. It doesn't take a GPS to cause people to drive into a train, into a creek or run over people -- all it takes is a car.
