Your drivers may have. I haven't.
The moron in this video shouldn't be allowed to drive a tricycle, much less a truck. When he entered the parking lot to the park and his gps was showing him 'on route' that should have been a big red flag to stop and figure it out, not just blindly proceed because he had a route on his gps.
Ive lost count of the number of times I've had to override what my GPS wanted me to do. It's called trip planning. Knowing where you're supposed to be and knowing when it doesn't look right.
I wonder what GPS he was using

Right because going over my 11 hrs, 70 hrs, or not taking an 30 min hour break within 8 hrs is Wayyyyyy more dangerous than taking a 18 wheeler over a pedestrian foot bridge.
Dear God....the stupid....it BURNS!!! -
THANK YOU.
People are too foolish or lazy to be tructed with a GPS. The smart ones use it as a TOOL, not a set of instructions.
TRIP PLANNING. Map and paper and pen. Then use your little screen if it makes you happy, or for the last couple of turns, or fuel or rest stops . . . whatever they do that's so helpful.
And no - Mr. Dui Pyle - can't say I've done the DUI or drug thing either. Now the exceeding hours thing . . . . . let's change the subject . . . . nice weather lately!!hal380 and flyingmusician Thank this. -
The fact that someone like him was using one to begin with is the problem...
But forgive me, I guess I am one of those "afraid of change drivers that refuses to embrace modern technology."
You have to be smarter than the GPS, and there are a lot more like him out here.hal380 and blairandgretchen Thank this. -
Hi Pattyj;
No it doesn't matter what GPS he was using - I should have picked a different title - point is what the hell did he think as he/she followed the GPS down a walking path????

Now we all now PTL is somewhat of a bottom feeder, but even they had to have some inclination that this driver was maybe not the sharpest tool on the shelf.

Hell don't fire the guy,,SHOOT THE SOB!

Are you implying that the rest of us are dumber than this guy was??...I don't think so...this guy should never be allowed to operate a motor vehicle of any kind ever again..stevep1977 Thanks this.

I doubt it, but I guess you would get offended if you could relate to this story lol.loose_leafs Thanks this.

Lol driving over your hos, DUI and smoking weed are worse than reckless driving, running over trees, crashing into and potentially causing a pedestrian bridge to collapse.
