This make's a great gag gift for Father's Day

 

Troy, MI (PRWEB) May 26, 2011

With Father’s Day just around the corner, finding a fun gift that is just right for Dad can be a challenge. However, if that special Dad drives a lot and needs friendly “back-seat driver” reminders, then give him a “Mary-On-Board®.”
Mary-On-Board® retails for $19.95 and is an electronic device that offers 15 hilarious “back-seat driver” sayings in both English and Spanish. It attaches to most car dashboards with a non-slip mat and a suction cup mount and also has an integrated picture holding slot so you can add your picture to personalize the Father’s Day gift. That special father can then push a button on the device to activate the back-seat driver sayings.
With typical back-seat driving sayings like, “Keep it under 80 miles per hour. You’re going to get a ticket” or “Why don’t you stop and ask for directions” the Mary-on-Board® device is a great Father’s Day gift that will always ensure your Dad or husband remembers to drive safely, even when you aren’t in the car with him.
Mary-on-Board® is the brainchild of Mary and Dan Finkelstein of Troy, Mich. who got the idea during a trip to North Carolina.
“My husband was driving and talking on his cell phone and almost missed an important exit until I got his attention, even though we had a GPS system giving him directions,” said co-inventor Mary Finkelstein. “It occurred to me that a device that would provide subtle driving reminders would be a fun gag gift.”
For a “test-drive” of the device, visit http://www.maryonboard.com and click the “Demo” tab to let the back-seat driving begin. Mary-On-Board® can be purchased online at http://www.maryonboard.com or at Amazon.com (http://www.amazon.com) and $1 from each purchase will also be donated to the National Kidney Foundation. You can also find cool Mary-On-Board® t-shirts and hats on the website. For more information, email info@maryonboard.com.

Following GPS, Man Drives Van Up Swiss Mountain, Gets Stuck

Most people probably wouldn't drive their cars off a cliff just because their GPS system told them to do it. Driving off-road and up a mountain, on the other hand, is an entirely different story.

That's exactly what 37-year-old Robert Ziegler recently did, when his van's GPS system directed him up some ruggedly mountainous terrain in Bergün, Switzerland. Although Ziegler had his suspicions about the route, his navigation system didn't tell him to turn back until his van was hopelessly stuck along a narrow path. "I kept hoping each little turn would get me back to the main road," Ziegler tells Metro.co.uk. "In the end, it told me to turn around, but, of course, I couldn't by then."

Eventually, both Ziegler and his van were airlifted from the Swiss mountain by a helicopter and an awe-struck team of rescue workers. "He says he didn't see any footpath signs but he must be a fair driver to get that far up a glorified goat track," a fire service spokesman says. While following a satellite navigation system up a mountain may not be quite as moronic as, say, a pedestrian following Google Maps onto a major highway, Ziegler's saga stands as further proof that drivers tend to take GPS directions as gospel -- even when they make no sense, whatsoever.

Mary On Board can replace 13 GPS devices!

Driver follows GPS into sand (Article from: Reuters)

An 80-year-old German motorist has obediently followed his navigation system all the way into a huge pile of sand, abrubtly bringing his trip to an end.
The motorist ignored a motorway "closed for construction" sign and crashed his Mercedes into a pile of sand further down the road, police have said.

"The driver was following the orders from his navigation system and even though there was a sufficient number of warnings and barricades, he continued his journey into the construction site," a police spokeswoman has said.

"His trip finally ended when he wound up crashing into a pile of sand," she added.

The driver and his wife escaped uninjured from the collision, which occurred on a motorway near Hamburg.
