I have driven for over 40 years, and I had an almost perfect driving
record. Just two minor fender benders in all these years. In May I
bought a Tomtom GPS. Since then, I have had 32 accidents, and now I
lost my license. That goddamn GPS keeps saying "turn left" (or
right), where there is no road. I turn as it tells me, and I have
gone into a ditch numerous times, hit a few trees, smashed into 3
houses and a store, hit another car, hit a guard rail, crashed into a
rock wall, went off a bridge, and even ran someone over a pedestrian
and killed her. I spent my entire life savings buying 18 new cars in
the last 4 months as well as spending more time in the body shop then
I ever spent before. One car even broke in half when I hit that rock
wall, and landed me in the hospital in critical condition after the
fire department had to use the jaws of life to remove me. Besides
losing my license, my insurance was cancelled from 5 companies and no
one will insure me anymore.

I told the insurance agents, the police, and the judge that I am only
doing what my Tomtom tells me to do.

Why does it tell me to turn where there are no roads? There is
usually a road ahead, but when it says turn, I turn. I was taught to
follow directions, and that is what I'm doing.

I presume that posters here will be able to think of a direction or two that
your obedient nature will find to be irresistible.

GPS is not meant to be a replacement for common sense.
