This was right after she checked the “710” in her engine I’m sure.

Not as bad as the Newfie who was driving home from BC with a load of BC Hydro. The GPS had him take a short cut across the border in Maine. Hilarity did not ensue at US Customs. Those people do not have a sense of humor.

“Combining “weather conditions and the driver being new to the area, a fully submerged vehicle was the result,” police said in a release.”

At the risk of offending some of our fine neighbors to the north, Canadians sometimes have charming ways of expressing things, eh?

When I lived on my boat in Hawaii, tourists drove rental cars down the boat ramp into the harbor a couple of times a year.

Tobermory and the surrounding area is a very beautiful portion of Lake Huron and Georgian Bay. You have the wonderful Bruce Trail and Peninsula, the Escarpment, Indian Head Cove with the Grotto, and the Flowerpot Islands. After last year’s very cold winter and spring, the water temperature was still about 2 degrees Celsius in June.

A few years ago we bought a GPS to go on a trip. When we got to the address input, we were 4 miles off. I’ve never trusted GPS since.

Just wait until “autonomous” cars hit the road. We’ll see a lot more of this.

I have driven in many new areas, and never accidentally submerged my vehicle. Common sense has to be lacking to do that, even in low visibility.
