        I imagine that at some point, some lawmaker will get a law passed that a sat nav will need to blank its screen while the car is running. Marc

          What gets me is that she opened the gate, drove onto the railway line and then got out to close the gate behind BEFORE opening the gate in front!

            Ms Ceely said she had been "really lucky".

            Yeah you were! you wont do that again. i dont think the sat nav has anything to do with that. simple lack of observation well im glad she was unharmed, very lucky.. buy a lotto ticket

                  There wasn't a notice about a railway line so she didn't see the rails until she walked on them. The state of some rail crossings in the UK is shocking.

                  The tigress is here :-D

                    Not only did she not see them, she saw the red circle on the gate and the sign that said 'safe to cross when light is green' and still didn't realise that this maybe wasn't just a gate onto a farm track...

                        That's how a woman works. Now, a man would have opened both gates, driven through and not bothered to close either gate. If there were two women, one would have gotten out, opened both gates, the other driven through, then the first would have closed both gates. If there was a woman and a man, there would be an argument regardless of who was driving. If it was two men, the non-driver would have challenged the driver to simply crash through the gates. The macho image thing, you know. Marc

                                We would advise people to use sat navs with due caution I fail to understand how the problem is due to Sat nav. In all the cars I have seen the Sat nav shows the railway tracks too. So she should have seen the railway tracks and more obviously when she opened the gates she should have seen the tracks.

                                    It was as much the fault of the sat nav as it was the gas pump.

                                        There wasn't a notice about a railway line so she didn't see the rails until she walked on them. The state of some rail crossings in the UK is shocking.

                                        Don't they have headlights on cars over there? Does She always drive onto things without even looking? Seems like operater errer to me. :^)
