28. Girls Crash into Lake Following Bad GPS Directions

2. Girls Crash into Lake Following Bad GPS Directions
One now from the United States, this time involving two girls who ended up driving into a lake – because their GPS and sat nav told them to! The three girls had hired an SUV and blamed a bad GPS for leading them into danger.
The girls in question survived the incident but divers were needed in order to help recover the Mercedes from the lake using a tow truck. You can watch the video below from the local news channel which covered this horrendous sat nav error.

3. Japanese Tourists Drive into the Pacific Ocean Because of Their GPS
Following on with the water based theme is this story concerns a group of Japanese tourists who had hired a car in Brisbane, Australia. Being in an unfamiliar country and driving on unknown roads is never the easiest of things, but surely they must have seen the Pacific Ocean approaching as they drove their hire car into the waves? Apparently not and despite Japan being the home of technology perhaps these guys needs a few refresher points on how to use their GPS sat nav?
One of the tourists was quoted as saying that the GPS “told us we could drive down there. It kept saying it would navigate us to a road. We got stuck… There’s lots of mud”. Quite. Watch the video below to see some hilarious footage of this classic sat nav foul-up.

4. Truck Driver Jailed Over GPS Mistake
You would think that an army veteran might have better navigational sense, but this wasn’t the case with Doug Madison in the USA. This guy had to spend Christmas behind bars after driving a chemical tanker onto country roads that were only meant to have a 10 ton weight limit.
Doug Madison told the local court sentencing him that his GPS and sat nav told him to come off Interstate 79. He was eventually locked up for 10 days and told the local news TV channel that he thought the punishment was unjustified.
5. English Woman Drives Mercedes into a River Using Sat Nav
One from the UK now, where a woman drove a £96,000 Mercedes into the River Sence (perhaps she could use some “sense”?). This was another case of a person blindly following their sat nav directions, despite there being clear road signs saying that there was a rather large body of water right up ahead.
