GPS strikes again
Take one GPS add two incautious people get this: Mail I had to fight off the urge to tag those folks with something other than incautious.

That, to me, describes a road with 18" drops in the driving part of the road. I do agree, the couple were guilty of being pretty stupid.fj12ryder wrote:dodge guy wrote:Maybe that flat happened when they drove over that 18" drop off. You'd think they'd have been smart enough to turn around before they drove over that.
Well they did turn around. Had they not gotten a flat we wouldn’t even be reading this.
Which brings up a huge deal! How many people know that most new cars don’t come with a spare anymore due to weight and price?
Yes they followed the GPS when they should t have, but turned around to go back. So barring the GPS deal they did everything right. Maybe they should’ve had water and food, but they believed they were heading to a lake via an easy route!
Well, I know that a lot of newer cars don't come with spares, but it might not occur to me that a rental wouldn't, simply because all my vehicles that I drive all the time do have spares. I could also be guilty of overlooking that fact.
The article said the road had 18” drop offs. They never said if the Chrysler Pacifica drove down those!
It was bad judgment all around!
