Tourists Follow GPS Directions Into River Bed {Gadling}
Apr 15th 2013 6:22PM Whatever happened to common sense when driving!
Some drivers just fail to properly observe the conditions of their route.
Which Site Has The Most Accurate Weather Forecasts? {Gadling}
Jun 14th 2012 7:00PM The weather information for my home city of Worcester here in England is not reliable. The data comes from sources about 30 miles away and the weather does vary over that short distance. The most reliable local forecasts are only available on radio, BBC Hereford and Worcester. Other regions within UK are served by local BBC stations, check their web site for full list.

15 weird road signs from around the world {Gadling}
Feb 4th 2011 4:34AM Never trust your GPS!
Too often drivers have blind faith in the directions given by GPS systems, resulting in lorry drivers following a route that has signs saying "Unsuitable for large vehicles". Then getting stuck in a narrow road.
On the BBC web site today there was a story about a car driver making a turn which was prohibited by road signs, resulting in the death of a passenger.

Can this chicken bus make it across a waterfall? {Gadling}
Jan 23rd 2011 6:47PM Don't think I would like to take that bus route to home!
Though isn't it driving over a weir or dam, as waterfalls are natural.

New airport threat: killer electric carts? {Gadling}
May 6th 2010 5:44PM The design of those electric carts is at fault, as it allows someone to accidentally put an object on the accelerator pedal.
Also seems a poor layout where the cart goes across the pedestrian walkway.
Kulula-air tries not to take itself too seriously {Gadling}
Jan 30th 2010 8:34PM Greetings
Certainly a nice paint job. :)
But why does the one side show the "secret agent code", which is a Czeck Republic callsign, while the other has the South African ZS-ZWP?
Fancy breakfast with the giraffes? {Gadling}
Dec 27th 2008 4:39AM While you can see giraffees at Longleat Park, it is not a national park.
It is one of a number of Safari Parks that are around the United Kingdom, which are home to many foreign animals.
National Parks are areas of natural landscape.
