I’ve attributed much of the crazy driving I’ve seen over the past decade or so to being too absorbed with the GPS. It tells them to turn, they turn, no matter how many lanes they cross. They miss a turn, they stop dead in the middle of traffic. If I’m traveling somewhere unfamiliar and need directions I get them beforehand and then try to anticipate the need to change lanes for a turn. A lot of people just set it and go, apparently.

Several years ago, I read about an Asian tourist in California who obeyed his GPS when it told him to make a right turn. He turned directly onto rail road tracks, a train was coming so he jumped out of the car to save his life but his rental car was totally destroyed.
