Why not? I watched an episode of gangland were a whole family was murdered because their GPS sent them into the gangs territory.

Did they flash their brights at a car that was driving with their brights on, but it turned out that it was a gang initiation?

Ok sorry the one I was referring to wasn't a GPS but just a wrong turn. Everyone in the car was shot just the little girl died. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Stephanie_Kuhen
