Man Follows GPS, Crashes Into Toilet

A German motorist followed the command "Turn right now!" from his navigation system and crashed into a small toilet hut by the side of the road -- about 30 metres before the crossing he was meant to take.

The overly obedient 53-year-old drove his sport utility vehicle all the way off the road onto into a building site, up a stairway and into the small toilet shack.

He caused about $4,500 worth of damage to the stairway, his car, and the toilet.

You may remember our 'Driver Obeys GPS System, Ignores Common Sense' story from earlier this month. It seems as GPS navigation gets more popular, common sense gets less and less common.
