slacker Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 Irregular News for 01.16.07 Berlin, Germany -- A 46-year-old German motorist driving along a busy road suddenly veered to the left and ended up stuck on a railway track -- because his satellite navigation system told him to, police said on Sunday. The motorist was heading into the north German city of Bremen "when the friendly voice from his satnav told him to turn left," a spokesman said. "He did what he was ordered to do and turned his Audi left up over the curb and onto the track of a local streetcar line. He tried to back up off the track but got completely stuck." The police spokesman said about a dozen trams were held up until a tow lorry arrived to clear the car off the track. Several German motorists have crashed their cars in recent months, later telling police they were only obeying orders from their satnavs. source Quote Link to comment
cmb23 Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 Good thing the navigation system spoke up, because the voices in his head were telling him to rape, steal and kill. Quote Link to comment
BIGREDIOWAN Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 I will say that my cousin has an expensive Tahoe with that fancy crap in it and the damn thing had us all kinds of lost when we went to Minneapolis this last summer!!! Finally we shut it off and just drove around until we got where we needed to be. Quote Link to comment
