When You Really Shouldn't Trust the GPS Unit In Your Car

It really does pay to keep your eyes on the road. Just ask the driver of this soda truck in England, who believed his GPS navigation system to the point of wedging his truck between two a home and a real estate office. And no, he couldn't back it out: the road backwards was too steep to reverse uphill.

The Daily Mail newspaper says the driver took all kinds of ribbing, when he went to a nearby pub to use a restroom. Jokes about needing directions, etc. -- You know, typical British wit. Although they'd say 'lorry,' 'estate agent,' and 'loo.'  gosh, they talk funny.

Anyway, I've said it before, and I'll say it again. It's important not to run out of road, before you run out of stupid.
