I can’t see a damn thing, I’ll trust Google Maps.

Unequivocally, Darwin .

Look, if the guy was doing 80 on a backroad in pitch black, you’d probably be right, fair?

If the guy was driving a little too fast, so maybe 15-20, and couldn’t imagine GPS would successfully guide him over an un-barricaded, warning sign-less cliff, I think he deserves a little more slack. If you disagree, then take the stand as a character witness in the trial, for all I care.
