GPS introduced the German driver to a Swiss tree
Situations when the car navigation system fails and escorts the driver to a completely unplanned journey with an unpredictable ending happen regularly. However, not every trip ends with a trip to a pedestrian crossing, knocking down several lamps and resting in the branches of a cherry tree.
It was this route that was crossed by a 37-year-old truck driver heading from Germany to one of the Swiss factories. The man obviously did not know the route at all and therefore relied entirely on the prompts of the GPS navigator, who at one point safely brought the truck straight to the narrow sidewalk, since the driver did not notice a number of prohibition signs. Gentle female voice, bringing tips from the dynamics of the GPS-navigator, apparently, very much attracted the poor man. After a couple of hundred meters, when the sidewalk finally reached an impasse, the driver, sensing something was wrong, reversed and, knocking down two lampposts along the way and damaging the fence, found his rest in the branches of the cherry tree. Only the local police officers and a couple of people with chainsaws were able to help the car out of there.
The traveling traveler poor fellow was fined 650 Swiss francs (approximately 540 US dollars) and recommended updating the firmware of the GPS navigator. But a copy of Google Maps, alas, was not handed.
