I don’t have a car at the moment, but I do have TomTom Navigator 6 that I use with my Dell Axim PDA and I’ve had similar experiences to this poor lady. A poor woman in the UK drove her £96k Mercedes SL500 into a river after following the instructions of her satnav.
The 28-year-old woman – apparently on her way to a Christening on 3 March – ignored signposts indicating the track was unsuitable for motor vehicles and gamely ploughed into the watercourse. Unfortunately, the river was “swollen after heavy rain in recent floods” and quickly overcame the Merc, “gushing through the car” and sweeping it 200 metres downstream “bouncing from one river bank to the other, as the woman frantically tried to smash the windows with her feet”
Luckily she managed to get out thanks to help from some passersby.
