An out-of-town man drove down the Washington and Old Dominion Trail in Northern Virginia last night because his GPS told him to. Want to guess which state he was from? Here’s a hint: It start with an “F” and ends with “lorida.”

ARLNow has the story:

The man was in a rental car with his wife and kids when he drove northbound onto the trail at Columbia Pike, according to Arlington police spokesman Lt. Mike Watson. After receiving numerous calls from trail users, a police officer on a motorcycle caught up with the vehicle, a Chrysler 300 sedan, in Glencarlyn Park.

According to Watson, the man claimed that a GPS navigation system on his phone directed him to use the trail. The Florida resident was issued a court summons for reckless driving and was escorted off the trail and back onto local roads, Watson told ARLnow.com.

ARLNow also includes this wonderful observation from a police officer speaking over the scanner: “He must think it’s the world’s smallest two-lane highway.”

This is not the first time a car has traveled on the 45-mile bike path. A 28-year-old McLean woman was arrested in early June for driving down the trail and striking a biker while allegedly drunk.
