Grrrr....

Woman hit by train while driving blames Satellite Navigation System. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/wales/south_west/6646331.stm

"I can't completely blame the sat nav because up until there, it did get me where I needed to go," she added.

...

"If maybe I had been more aware of the situation, I wouldn't have had the accident."


NO KIDDING.

How do you not notice driving over TRAIN TRACKS? When you have to STOP to open a GATE across the road, would you not LOOK and see where you were going to be driving?

Again quoting from the article (emphasis added):

She was trying to cross the line in the dark when she heard a train horn, realised she was on the track, and the train smashed into the car.

I didn't think I needed to include that in the quote before because it is the third paragraph of the story. But if you were reading fast you might have missed it, as I know I sometimes do.
