A few years ago my garmin said turn left and I did at a totally unlit intersection in the rain at 4;30am. I was on the wrong of a divided highway.
I love GPS, but it is a tool to be combined with other senses... not a rule to be followed without question. If you cannot see where you are going, you shouldn't be going. Whether you can't tell you are on the wrong side of the road, or you can't see the disabled vehicle in the road, or you can't see the homeless drunk passed out on the shoulder...
If you can't see where you are going, you shouldn't be going.
Sooooooooooooooo. After being on the road for 2 hours, at night, in the rain, and you come to a poorly lit intersection you should shut down , grab the baby's and old lady's and hunker down. Get real. If I did that I could only drive on sunny days and only betw'n dawn to dusk..... never going to happen in my world. I start real early to avoid those that have anxiety moments by others that often can create problems for me on others. At 7,000 + miles a year I am quite accomplished but still have issues in some states at their lack of effort to mark roads and critical lighting.
