silly bmw driver
A British driver has blamed his GPS navigation unit for leaving his car teetering on the edge of a cliff after he followed its instructions.
Robert Jones said he trusted his navigational system and continued to follow it when it told him the steep, narrow footpath he was driving on was a road.
Jones, from Doncaster, South Yorkshire, northern England, now has a court date for driving without due care and attention.
His BMW nearly plunged down a 100-foot cliff in Todmorden, West Yorkshire, on Sunday.
He was only stopped from falling after the vehicle rammed into a wire fence.

wow
That reminds me of the lady who put her RV on cruise control and went to the back and fell asleep because she thought the RV would drive itself.

LOL, unfortunate when your city makes headlines in this fashion?
I think the proper way to phrase your response should have been...
"In response to the recent news about a certain gentleman from Doncaster, I would like to state that yes, BMW owners from Doncaster are of the same intelligence level as BMW owners from the rest of the world."
Of course I'm kidding!

Like the woman that got up from the front seat of her motorhome to make a sandwich while cruising down the highway. She promptly crashed and successfully sued the manufacturer of the RV for not stating in the owners manual that you couldn't leave the front seat with the cruise engaged. People are pretty stupid sometimes!
