I just read this hilarious story linked from Engadget of a university student in the UK who followed her satellite navigation system right into the path of a speeding train.

If maybe I had been more aware of the situation, I wouldn’t have had the accident.

Um, you think?

Surprisingly she had the good sense not to get back in her car when she saw the train coming towards her, instead standing back to watch the train destroy her car.

They really need to start equipping GPS systems with cameras for those who drive while looking at the GPS screen. They obviously don’t have turn-by-turn voice instructions.
