Driver Obeys GPS System, Ignores Common Sense

An 80-year-old German motorist obediently following his navigation system ignored a motorway "closed for construction" sign and then crashed his Mercedes into a pile of sand further down the road.

A police officer said: "The driver was following the orders from his navigation system"

"And even though there was a sufficient number of warnings and barricades, he continued his journey into the construction site".

"His trip finally ended when he wound up crashing into a pile of sand", the officer added.

Fortunately, the driver and his wife escaped uninjured from the incident.
