These people must be missing a brain cell or 2, to listen to their sat nav, when it says 'Turn right' you listen and turn onto a road that turns out to be a train track (or dirt track that leads to a lake!!) and wreck your car.
***STORY HERE***
On the rare occasions I have used sat nav, I quite often question it or ignore it completely as they aren't right all the time. Anyone that wrecks their car in such a way isn't safe to own one in the first place...

I use mine a lot. I also ignore it a lot. In fact I mostly only use it for the last mile or so. Because it's not hard to navigate to the rough area you're heading to without one. But I also use mine for the "Tom Tom game": How far ahead of the arrival time it predicts will you arrive?
That's nothing to do with the sat nav. She got out of her car, opened a gate, drove through, closed the gate, then only when she walked to the other side to open the next gate did she notice it was a railway line.
To be fair there are lots of these types of crossing in Wales. However the sign (which I assume is standard) tells you that if the little green light is on to open both gates and drive across then to close both gates when the car is on the other side. It also tells you what to do if the light goes red during the process.
