GMaps directed a long distance truck driver to a narrow village road in Jamuria, near Asansol


Long haul truck drivers whom I rely on for routes and amenities have themselves started embracing technology 🤭. Their confidence seems to have struck an all time low. Some of them can't think of seeking help from anyone other than Google Maps. 
A huge truck from somewhere outside West Bengal, surely not from any of the 5 south Indian states, going by its colour and looks, 
got stuck in a narrow village road near Jamuria, less than 20 kms from Asansol in WB, late on 2024-07-01 evening. 
The driver claimed that he was following GMaps which resulted in him landing into a sticky situation 😃. I wonder if the driver and his helper are techies or vloggers. Why on earth didn't they get down and knock on a few doors to ask the peasants about the correct route 🤔.
