[Scan-DC] GPS Tells Elderly Motorist To Do U-Turn OnExpressway...So He Does

[Dewey]

Very interesting!!!

I have the feeling that many scanner hobbiests are also into GPS (as I am).
Something 'bout those electronic what-cha-ma-thingy's (scanners, computers,
GPSs, etc) that have a draw on us!

GPS Tells Elderly Motorist To Do U-Turn On Expressway...So He Does
Nancy, France (AFP) Nov 30, 2004

"An elderly motorist driving along a 130-kilometre (80-mile) an hour
expressway in eastern France caused an accident when he followed the
advice of his onboard GPS computer - and made a U-turn to drive into
the high-speed traffic."
