At last, common sense prevails!!

Postby expat » Wed Sep 16, 2009 8:49 am

Common sense prevails!! Protecting the nation from idiots rather than the idiots being protected from the nation 8-) ;D

A driver has been found guilty of driving without due care and attention after 'slavishly' following his sat nav to the edge of a cliff.
Lets hope they do the same to the next pillock who follows directions to drive up a railway line too >:(

This has made my day :D

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

I got quite a good laugh at some of the comments, this one being one of my favorites:

During his attack on the Death Star, if nothing else, Luke Skywalker has taught us that you shouldn't blindly rely on technology...
