Another SatNav dipstick!
Some people take the biscuit. Take a look at £900 fine for sat nav driver who was left dangling over cliff | The Sun |News
The picture says it all. I mean, I'd be wary about taking a mountain bike down that path. The farmer who owns it said he "... would not, as a general rule, take his own horses down because it was so narrow."
But then, it is a BMW ......

PS: in case anyone is wondering why I read the Sun, I don't! I just used the original link from Italian Job sat nav driver cops £900 fine ? The Register ... Phew. Got out of that one ....

Its just another thing to blame for people who cant drive. Dont fine them, take their licences away.
"in 200 yards, mount pavement, cross bus stop, and drive 500 yards the wrong way up a one way street"
If it said it, what percentage of people would follow its instructions? A worrying number I fear!

A £370 fine and 6 points for taking a wrong turning, no-one was hurt and no property damaged. Seems very steep to me (no pun intended). There's plenty of joyriders whizzing round in stolen cars who get a lot lighter penalties.

This isn't that far from where we live.
The best we've seen so far was a coach turning into a very clearly marked NO ACCESS road. There were three of us standing in front of the coach shouting & waving but the driver just ignored us until he looked properly to see a dead end
What's wrong wi using a map???

It does make you laugh 
but you have to have some common sense when following a sat nav, think the pin should have dropped when the road ran out to dirt track
