Driver follows GPS into sand.

AN 80-year-old German motorist has obediently followed his navigation system all the way into a huge pile of sand, abrubtly bringing his trip to an end.

The motorist ignored a motorway "closed for construction" sign and crashed his Mercedes into a pile of sand further down the road, police have said.

"The driver was following the orders from his navigation system and even though there was a sufficient number of warnings and barricades, he continued his journey into the construction site," a police spokeswoman has said.

"His trip finally ended when he wound up crashing into a pile of sand," she added.

The driver and his wife escaped uninjured from the collision, which occurred on a motorway near Hamburg.

This doesn't surprise me - you should have seen where Dave's GPS led us the other day..... I don't think you could have picked a longer way!

My navman saved me from going into the wrong party the other week. Two partys in one street on the same night. Who'd have thought

LOL What do you mean wrong party, though that you would have 'crashed' both.
