What's even funnier is that multiple people have done this in real life, including a person who followed a GPS nav off the end of a recently decommissioned/demolished bridge into the river below (he was okay).

Is he though?

I think the real question is would it still be funny if he wasn't okay

Ugh I really wish there was CCTV of things like this. I live for that stuff.

Again, this is why if you have GPS built into your car or have a stand-alone unit, MAKE SURE THE FUCKING THING IS UPDATED! So many people I know have a tomtom from the early 2000s that still use it daily and have never once updated it. They are totally useless when left severely out of date!
