Sat Nav users replacing common sense with GPS

Dear Sat Nav users,

It has come to my attention that there are some of you who are treating your satellite navigation system less like a guide, and more like divine words from the Almighty. The Evil Tabloids are reporting 300,000 accidents have happened because instructions have been followed to the letter, rather than as an addition to your own common sense.

I suggest this: when it tells you to turn left, have a look and see. Is that a one way street? Can you see a tell-tale train heading towards you? Does there appear to be more cows than you'd necessarily expect on a road? Reconsider, folks! Use 25% sat nav, 25% blind faith and 50% eyes. But remember, mostly eyes.
