It seems like drivers in Europe are having a hard time driving around with their GPS companions.
A small village in Carmarthenshire has been seeing a recent rise in traffic and building damage. Residents in Llangadog said trucks and lorries were smashing into buildings that have already had thousands of pounds spent on them.
The Townscape officer for Carmarthenshire Council, Roger Morgan, said Llangadog residents were convinced that satellite navigation was to blame for the damage.
"It's a very small narrow road and these large lorries are coming through the village and causing problems for everyone," he said. "There has been a tremendous increase in traffic and there's no reason for it to come over the Black Mountain unless they have been directed that way."
So the basic jist of it is that the town is blaming GPS units for directing traffic through their town.
Look I just have to get this off my chest. GPS doesn't cause damage, stupid people cause damage.
