Following the GPS is now catching up with "no brakes" as the default excuse!!!

I can believe that GPS sent him there LennyW......so many Eastern European drivers end up stuck in small villages in the UK .

 

But this guy should not have tried to cross a bridge like that fully loaded.

Don´t worry, Wittawat is still laughing and partying with his friends, telling a fantastic story about the sand truck and the water. 

Out looking for new job tomorrow. His next boss is happily going to let him drive an even bigger truck.

If the GPS made him do it, or what other mysterious force that made him do it is irrelevant. 

What´s important is that Wittawat is a shiny and strong example of the enormous lack of common sense, that this country is struggling with on a daily basis.

Do a quick Google for "GPS fail" YouTube's and tell me how many Thai drivers y'all come up with.

What are you on about? What should I get over? Are you telling me that he made a smart and intelligent choice, to trust the gps to guide him over a bridge like that?

In that case, I seriously hope you understand the level you put yourself on.

when will people realise that GPS's are basically stupid, unthinking bits of technology. Add a stupid GPS to a stupid driver and this is what you get.

GPS is not stupid at all. If it is set up properly and he had planned his route correctly, he wouldn't have driven across that bridge. 

 

What may have happened is that he had programmed the GPS to take the shortest route instead of the safest route.

Anybody with half a  brain would see that bridge was not strong enough for a truck loaded with sand.

Now me i would not even walk across it, let alone drive over it.

 

 

Waiting for comments.????

So, still no answer? Why do you want me to search Google? What good will that do?

 

And then, what is it I have to get over myself for/about? I mean "willya"??? That last thing is not even a word.

Soo, just not post your garbage. Stand up tall and answer for it too.

GPS is an amazingly powerful technology, but only as effective as the person using it.

That is of no concern to https://www.innnews.co.th/regional-news/news_755244/, where this "story" comes from.

 

It's just "local" Thai idiocy, for Thai people, and those with a Thai "interest", to laugh, jeer and catcall at.

 

Which is naturally also happening in other countries, in other local media, reporting on their own local idiots, for others with local interests.

 

Do Thais, and those with a Thai interest, not get to join in?

 

Do you expect "better" of them?
