What is wrong with people nowadays?  (Rhetorical question).  We need red flag laws for driving cars.

Hmmm both drivers were women.  Advancing the stereotype.

In my opinion people nowadays rely more on "technology" than common sense.

One time driving in Vegas the GPS wanted me to continue down the road to my destination, which was Sunset Station.  Problem was the road ended and there was a drainage canal running perpendicular. 

The GPS "girl" kept urging me to continue down the path.

I mean, I could see Sunset Station right in front of me.  Maybe I should have listened to the GPS. :rofl:

That fact is the same with over-reliance on government agencies and lawmakers, Social Media, the failing education system, and so many other "authorities" which people trust more than their own common sense.

TWO people drive cars into a boat harbor down a boat ramp surrounded by boats into the water until the car SANK.
Within weeks of each other.
Following their GPS !  :crazy:

Both women drivers.  :rofl:

Fawkin’ GPS got a sense of humor.
Turn left at the gap in the boats…..Don’t worry, it’s just a puddle…..proceed…( Haha, got another one )
