- xyzelement 1mo agoClick the link above. It was an 85 year old French man. Seems like overall confusion.
- ragebol 1mo agoI read the article, but still, how can anyone making such a mistake be deemed sane enough to still be allowed to drive a car? Alas, I'm far from 85, hard to imagine making that kind of error.

- dyauspitr 1mo agoI once drove 20 miles the wrong way because it was a long road with a few exits and it looks like you’re following the GPS because it tells you to get off on an exit and take a u turn. If you miss the recalculating part you can miss a few exits before you realize what is happening.
