Life Imitates Commercials or Ve Vas Jus following orders

BERLIN (Reuters) - A 46-year-old German motorist driving along a busy road suddenly veered to the left and ended up stuck on a railway track -- because his satellite navigation system told him to, police said Sunday.
The motorist was heading into the north German city of Bremen "when the friendly voice from his satnav told him to turn left," a spokesman said.
"He did what he was ordered to do and turned his Audi left up over the curb and onto the track of a local streetcar line"

Several German motorists have crashed their cars in recent months, later telling police they were only obeying orders from their satnavs.

Damned obedient, those Germans. Need car insurance? Call 1-800-DUMKOPF. Uberators are standing by. Not available in France.
