Sounds really weird and funny right? Well, it does to me too.
A widely known thought or notion about male drivers is that they’re loath to stop and ask for directions when lost.
The
stereotype has just been made concrete by a truck driver named Agus Tri Pamungkas,
23, who recently became a victim of Google map, was tasked with the transportation of a payload of rocks from
Banyuwangi, East Java to Singakerta village in Ubud, Bali.
According
to a report by The Jakarta Post, Agus lost his way upon reaching Ubud, and then he
figured consulting his phone instead of the locals was much better(we all know better now), and then faithfully
followed the directions provided by Google Maps.
Unknown to him, the route he was taking was meant only for light vehicles, such as motorcycles.
Despite
realising that the road he was on was very narrow, Agus pressed on and
even traversed a rickety bridge over the Wos River near Banjar Gelogor
(hey, who is he to question Google Maps?)
Agus and his truck
miraculously made it to the other side of the bridge, but the road –
which was poorly maintained – suddenly turned into a steep, uphill
climb.
Perhaps realising that it had been bamboozled by Google
Maps, the truck decided to rebel. It stalled, slid backwards over the
cliff and plunged into the Wos River.
Incredibly, Agus survived the horrific crash and was rescued and taken to hospital by residents of nearby Lodtunduh village.
Note
to all motorists – having blind faith in an app is as potentially
hazardous as a blind person consulting Google Maps (and driving!).
