An overly-obedient motorist obeyed the "Turn right now!" command from his satellite navigation system and ended up crashing his car into a small toilet hut by the side of the road. The incident happened when Freiburg, 53, took the turn about 30 meters before the crossing he was actually meant to take.

Following the beforehand command from the navigation system, Freiburg drove his sport utility vehicle off the road onto into a building site, up a stairway and into the small toilet shack, police in the eastern town of Rudolstadt said Sunday.

The crash caused 2,000 euros (U.S. $2,500) worth of damage to the stairway, and 100 euros damage to his car. Freiburg was also fined 35 euros.
