Navi on - check; brain off - check….

It seems some drivers have difficulty using their brain after they have switched their sat-nav on:

...drives off the road onto into a building site, up a stairway and into a toilet hut

...gets stuck in the river

...gets stuck for over 6 hours on narrow road

...(ambulance) takes to 2 hrs to make 15 minute emergency call

...drives to cliff edge

Hi – well, I must confess I have a “smart phone” (Palm Treo 650), which has the TomTom navi software on it. I think it’s great if you are trying to find a hotel in a strange city. And MUCH cheaper than getting a built-in unit for the car. But I haven’t demolished a toilet by following it, yet!
