“It’s all well and good trusting your SatNav but how about trusting your eyes and when there’s not a road in front of you, don’t keep driving. What a plonker.
“I’ve heard of lorries getting stuck on village roads before but really takes a lack of common sense to a whole new level.”
Satnavs need a few more settings:
One for high and wide vehicles so tools don't try and drive a 9foot wide wagon over a 7foot wide bridge,
and a "no chance" button, for times like when mine told me to do a u-turn on a 4 lane bridge. Luckily I knew where I was going and just
figuring out how to use it but it would have been good to tell it there was no effing way I'm spinning round here and to just give me a new
route. No doubt some tit has done it
