Todays society has clearly put Darwinism out of function. I mean, this person, who obviously has got more money than sense, should have, according to all natural laws, been extinct. But thanks to todays modern technology, these genes will still be populating the Earth.
Nothing personal "Hayley", but should you have crossed said river 5,000 years ago you wouldn't be alive now.
Can we please have a law that requires everybody to apply common sense, or they will be prosecuted..?
These people should be banned from ever owning SatNav again. #

This is what happens when you use a secondary source of navigation as your primary source.
If I was a SatNav map designer I'd put so many routes through rivers just to see how many idiots actually ran their cars into the water. Or perhaps this has already happened...
... who thought that referring to the Easy Walk's "test pilots" from the Italian Blind Union. as "Guinea pig(s)" was just a LEE-E-E-E-ETLE BIT tacky...?
When the article said that she was driving 'to' a christening did it mean 'from' and the liquid refreshment was more invigorating than a swim in the river?
If she had been uses a road map that incorrectly showed the road as passable would you have written "map plubges Merc into river" ? No, you wouldn't.
SatNav is a tool, nothing more. If people are so f***ing stupid as to go places where it's obviously wrong then it's the user that needs an upgrade. Or is common sense considered "too 20th century" to be used these days.

Well there goes my faith in Darwinism.
Natural Selection is clearly untrue.
