I have often wondered why using a mobile phone or watching television while in the car or eating food while driving is an offence while operating a GPS system on the dashboard is not.
It seems that many drivers these days are unable to read a map and have to rely on these little devices to get themselves around. You read stories every now and again of drivers who have followed their GPS receivers and found themselves stuck in narrow lanes or swamped in flooded fords.
So it comes as no surprise that a Swedish couple wrongly programmed their GPS to take them to Carpi, an industrial town in northern Italy, instead of the island of Capri. Carpi was at least, more or less, on their way.
Bring back the books of maps and furious arguments with wives and partners who cannot read them!
