If a GPS instruction contradicts an applicable traffic prohibition, what should you do?

Correct answer

Obey rules and signs and find a lawful, safe alternative.

Obey the rules and traffic signs and choose a safe, lawful alternative. GPS is an aid, not permission to break rules. The driver’s personal opinion does not override the rules either. Restarting or reprogramming the device does not legalise a prohibited manoeuvre; stop at a lawful, safe place before operating it.
