    how do people actually fall for this

    It’s dark. They’re tired. They know a turn is coming up but can’t see it due to the lights from oncoming traffic

          Lol exactly my thought too.

          “How can you not see even if it’s dark” idk dude wait until your 73 and trying to drive home at night while oncoming traffic has bright lights in your face I guess.

          cause if they knew that the turn was coming and they knew the road well, how did they not notice that the tunnel had never been there, and why did they try to drive into it? whenever I’m driving in a place I know very well/I live in I basically just go on autopilot and drive to where I need to go.

            Who said they knew the road well? It could be their first time there and the phones map told them a left turn was coming up.

              if they were following directions they wouldn’t think they know better than a computer software that is specifically designed to route and track roads using satellites by going forward.

                “Turn right and then turn left” I’ve had this exact instruction before and would easily lead to this situation. In these types of moments, odds are you are looking and the road and not the screen so rely on the audio commands.

              your grammar’s wrong

              its “I’ve never met someone you who is immune to making from mistakes.”

              now that I know that you don’t like it I’m probably just gonna do it more

              I know somebody’s gonna be like “but Jesus said don’t point out a splinter in somebody else’s eye when you have a plank in yours” but I’m just teasing >_<
