Title: GPS Issue in Australia
Post by: Lotsokids on March 17, 2012, 03:53:15 AM
It might not be as much of a GPS problem as it is driver incompetency. :wacko2:

Note: If there is 9 miles of water in front of you, don't trust your GPS. However, with obedience like that, you are probably a good candidate for the military.

Fine, lets be almost politically correct and and call it DWS, Driving While Stupid. and the people next door that crashed into their own garage door and and damaged some of the house structure will remain classified as DWS.... I am fine with that..... Just don't ask my wife to bend to that rule as she drops off and picks up her kids and has to deal with DWA/DWO twice every day. Some how I think we are already on the same page......

How is the project going? Gonna ride soon, need to get into rally ready status soon.....

Here in Brisbane, it is common to see road work signs that state "Do not follow GPS instructions"

People are sheep, sheep are stupid... the world is full of sheeple!
