Exclusive: Shocking Revelations Emerge from HuffPost and Telegraph Sources—What They’re Not Telling You
Ever find yourself wondering what would happen if you blindly followed your GPS without a second thought? Well, meet Sabine Moreau — a 67-year-old Belgian woman who took a less-than-90-mile trip and accidentally turned it into an epic 900-mile European odyssey. Yep, what was supposed to be a quick jaunt to Brussels’ Gare du Nord turned into a two-day, five-country road trip straight to Zagreb, Croatia. Talk about a navigation nightmare! She fueled up, took breaks, all the while completely oblivious to the fact she was traveling way off course — until, of course, she finally had that “wait a minute…” moment. It’s a hilarious and bewildering reminder of just how much we trust our gadgets, even when the signs are screaming otherwise. Curious how it all went down? LEARN MORE
In 2013, 67-year-old Sabine Moreau from Solre-sur-Sambre, Belgium, set out to pick up a friend at Brussels’ Gare du Nord station, a journey of less than 90 miles. She programmed her GPS and began driving.
Due to a navigation error, or possibly user error in following it, she continued for about two days, reportedly crossing five international borders and possibly driving through France, Germany, Austria, and Slovenia before reaching Zagreb, Croatia, roughly 900 miles from her starting point.
She reportedly stopped several times for fuel and short rests in her car. She finally realized something was wrong when she arrived in Zagreb and realized she was no longer in Belgium. By that time, her son had already reported her missing to the police.
Moreau later admitted she had been distracted and continued driving without questioning the changing languages on road signs. The incident was widely reported as an example of GPS/sat-nav error and uncritical reliance on navigation directions.
