awww thanks jenna and justin... i dont really care.... its just annoying, I mean were did they even create a story like this?!?! and the gps thing?? ugh but whatever :)

Theses comments are seriously cruel. Please stop hating on this poor man, you have no idea what him and his family are going through right now! This mans poor daughter is in the hospital with severe injuries and all you people have to say is that hes a bad driver. Please stop hating on this man because this could have happened to anyone. 

SHAME ON ALL OF YOU! Harini Gunasekera Is my friend. She is the thirteen year old daughter not the father. If the GPS told her father  to keep going. I Know that's what happened. You should all be ashamed for Harini is in very critical condition and you are mocking the family by saying they are lying. IT was foggy And with dense fog like it was that morning I am sure many more people got into accidents. I am ashamed that any of you would dare blame it On Mr. Gunasekera. Know one deserves such ridicule even in times like this for them. This article is also very rude and it mocks the Gunasekera family. TAKE THIS DOWN OR GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT!!!

The headline would be more accurate if it was "Jersey Man Drives Self Off Road and Into A House and Blames His Stupidity on GPS"

The GPS probably did instruct him to let his wife and child ride in the car without seat belts, though.

He missed the sign showing only left and right turn lanes, pavement markings with the same, a stop sign, cross street, curb, sidewalk, yard, and the house. I don't care how foggy it was, one or more of those should have been visible and avoidable if he was traveling at a safe speed.

I dunno .. sounds like this guy would have eventually drove into something even if his GPS didn't tell him to do so. 

I know that road very well.  Twisty and curvy.  It's also 25 MPH with tons of signs from residents asking people to slow down.  I also severely doubt his story that the "GPS told him to do it" and the GPS said "there was no stop sign".  There hasn't been any major modifications to that road in YEARS.  Unless he was using a GPS from the 80's, or some absolute no-name GPS, Here's what happened: He was speeding and lost control, or he was speeding and fell asleep.  They said "early Saturday morning", but not a specific time, but if it was after midnight, I could see sleep being a factor.  This is also the second major accident (at least this one was non-fatal) in less than a two week period.

I feel like as a society we're missing a real opportunity with this whole GPS thing. If you follow your GPS into immense stupidity, you should lose your license forever. No exceptions. You are clearly not capable of doing something so very very difficult as driving.

...we could have them programmed to, at random, create 'death drives.'  If you're not paying attention as you should, for example, the GPS could lead you off a cliff or bridge.
