In the News This Week!

It was reported a few days ago that a man had to be rescued from his car after it was stranded on a cliff edge. He was following the directions given to him by his sat-nav. It told him to follow the 'road' he was on, it turned out that the road was nothing more than a track, still he continued on because his sat-nav told him that was the correct route. Eventually the route became too narrow and with nowhere to turn and too worried about reversing back down the narrow path he called the police on his phone. The police duly arrived along with other teams of rescue workers, on his being freed from the precarious position he had found himself in the police then charged him with driving without due care and attention. He will undoubtedly now receive a hefty bill for the rescue as well. This brings me on to ask the question, if the sat-nav had told him to jump off the cliff would he have done so?

Where has the common sense of these people gone?
