Epic GPS fail? Or just plain stupidity…

GPS fail or not, IMO the bulk of the failure is upon the driver, whether you had any clue what a snowmobile trail was or not. not to smart. But hey we have snowmobilers who can't stay on trail so why not semi's who can't stay on the road.

Yeah, well, I used to see it multiple times a day at work. Almost all was due to entering the wrong address, or information. As they say, there is no fix for "Stupid"! I had to LMAO, as many of these Idiots would want to argue about it

Last week saw a car half way up a trail on a hill with a bunch of sledder trying to get him out. The sign at the bottom of the hill says "Road Closed, take Diamond road" right in the middle of the road at the bottom of the hill. It is a road that is closed in the winter to accomodate the trail.

Unfortunately this is now the norm. The driving skills I see on the road every day is frightening.

I think in the past, the truckers were usually the better drivers out there but I don't think that's the case any longer. Like everywhere else, new hires are hard to come by and by the looks of things they'll take anybody they can get.

Yeah, well he, or her, knowing that Co. is as it appears, stuck now! Good luck with that. And, gary, and katden4, observation is spot on! All started years back as Drivers wages, income, compensation, was reduced in order to go the cheap route. "Dime Store Trucking Companies"? Driving skills, eh?

It was a “ he”, not a young guy, and he actually backed out on his own

Definitely a sledder who couldn't help himself....what else you gonna think about at work?

Last year in West Yellowstone, my son and I came across a couple in a Subaru about 4mi out on the trail. We stopped and they wanted to know if it was OK to drive on the trails! WTF! A little earlier that same day we came across an F150 that had tried to turn around on the trail and gotten off the groom. He was sunk to the frame.
