It's because plenty of people are incapable of thinking for themselves and using their brains to make rational decisions and instead blindly trust a machine to do their thinking for them, then, when things almost inevitably **** up they can blithely absolve themselves of responsibility for their actions, 'cos the satnav told me to go this way, dinnit'
It's the same as the ****wit grockles who drive down onto beaches and get stuck in mud having driven past any number of signs warning of soft mud. Morons.

Nothing to do with Sat Nav, just idiots who think they have time to cross the causeway, even when the notice says they can't.

Happens a couple of times a year without fail.

A friend of a friend (really - it was the boyfriend of Jo who lived with my friend and uni and used to work in the Croft pub in Cardiff) got his car stuck in the mud in Cardiff Bay (before they built the barrage), so he borrowed his mates BMW to try and get it out. Yes, you've guessed it, he got that stuck too and the tide came in and swamped both cars. They were still there at the time I heard the story a few weeks later.
