I've seen this happening more now. I have two potential explainations. First, almost all of the people I've heard of doing this have turned out to be really drunk or high when they were arrested or autopsied. Second, one is more along the lines of what you're saying with poor driver quality. Some people have an over-reliance on GPS telling them where to turn and have lost the ability to navigate for themselves (or even just verify what the machine is telling them is at least safe).

Perhaps we ought to start attaching jail time to people who drive the wrong way due to reliance on incorrect GPS as a soft form of eugenics. Keep them in a position where they aren't in a position to find love and reproduce for a year.


Most of it is not a genetic issue. Many of the people who rely on GPS so heavily have the capability to navigate without it, but ate too lazy and inexperienced to do so.
