Bedford Driving Lessons

John Rhoads, 65, and his wife, Starry Bush-Rhoads, 67, were stuck for three days in snowdrifts while driving back home to Reno from Oregon. In the town of Silver Lake, the GPS directed them to take a right turn which led to a forest service road. The couple followed the road for 35 miles before getting stuck. Sheriff’s deputies found the stranded couple on Sunday and rescued them by pulling out their four-wheel-drive truck out of the snow with a winch. Sheriff Tim Evinger said that the couple has carried food, water and warm clothes and were well-equipped for winter travel. Commenting on the satnav, the sheriff said: “It will give you options to pick the shortest route. You certainly get the shortest route. But it may not be a safe route.” More
