GPS  Tells 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.  Police said the  hapless
78-year-old driver, who was not named, and the
occupants
of  the vehicle he ran into escaped unharmed from the
collision late Sunday,  but it could have been much
worse.
