Bride-to-be killed after driver followed sat-nav wrong way down dual carriageway and smashed into her car head-on | Mail Online

I don't have a satnav but recall driving on the Continent once when we all thought I was going around a one way system; I was stationary at red lights when we all realised simultaneously and instantaneously that four lanes of traffic were about to come our way when their lights turned green. Ooops! Luckily no harm done. That was a very long time ago, but I sure have looked out for road markings/signs ever since (or being me, stop beforehand and figure out which lane I'm meant to be in etc).

Boring Sunday driver I know, but carrying on regardless is no different from having a passenger map reading and wrongly directing. I don't have faith in my map reading so consequently I have little faith in that of others, be it a person or clever technology.

It's amazing I get to anywhere this side of Xmas really

I've had the sat nav tell me to turn right while coming up to a dual carriageway. The clue that I had to do otherwise was the big massive sign with an arrow pointing left on it Why can't people read the road signs anymore?

i use sat nav perminently as a truck driver,but only in conjunction with a real map,it has tried to send me on some silly routes sometimes but it has to be used with common sense.
