Woman Takes a Wrong Turn

Getting confused over traffic and road signs is not a sin right? For as long as nobody gets hurt in the process. Just like this 52-year old woman in Germany who mistook an underground station entrance for an underground park. She blamed the incident on the fact that the signs for underground public car parks are similar to the blue sign indicating underground stations. So this woman wanted to park near the supermarket, but unfortunately for her instead of a parking area she drove her VW Beetle straight through the station 9.22 commuter express that takes passengers to Germany’s downtown Dusseldorf. Luck was with her that day because she did not acquire any injuries, but her car was left stuck on the subway steps.

This incident is not really the first of its kind and an explanation is made regarding this phenomenon. According to Michael Schreckenberg, a professor of Transport and Traffic Research said “There is often too much information on road signs in our cities and the mind cannot process them all at once or confuses them.”

So what happens now to the woman? Well she pays £1,100 for her car’s damage and the police will have her undergo an eye test and if she passes that’s the only time she’s get back to driving.
