"I put my complete trust in the sat nav and it led me right into the path of a speeding train."

Never trust the machines...

"I thought it was a dead end at first and then there was a little sign saying, if the light is green, open the gates and drive through.

"So I opened the gate, drove forward, closed the gate behind me and then went to go and open the gate in front of me"

Fucking idiot deserved it. Why not open both gates, and drive right through instead of leaving her car on the tracks while she fucked about opening/closing gates?

Fucking dumb fuck.

yeah bloody stupid bitch, it's not as if it's in the driving test or anything.

"User-operated gates or barriers

269: Some crossings have 'Stop' signs and small red and green lights. You MUST NOT cross when the red light is showing, only cross if the green light is on. If crossing with a vehicle, you should

* open the gates or barriers on both sides of the crossing
* check that the green light is still on and cross quickly
* close the gates or barriers when you are clear of the crossing.

Laws RTA 1988 sect 36 & TSRGD reg 10 & 52(2)

270: If there are no lights, follow the procedure in Rule 269 above. Stop, look both ways and listen before you cross. If there is a railway telephone, always use it to contact the signal operator to make sure it is safe to cross. Inform the signal operator again when you are clear of the crossing."

"I'll never use a sat nav again. You rely on them and if it all goes wrong, you're horribly stuck.

"People should be more careful with them - you never know where they might lead you."

There's an element of common sense required. Sat Navs don't tell you to stop at red lights, but you still need to.

Who trusts them anyway? For the longest time we've had a bridge out, and the instructions always say to turn right to get on that bridge...no one ever has, you know why? Because they're not idiot kids. She was probably texting or talking on her phone too....kids love doing that and driving like little dumb asses.

unfortunately she wasn't in the car, so she's missing out on the chance of a Darwin award.

/she's also welsh.
