OMG

This is what happened to a driver who put her faith in her satellite navigation system – she ended up in deep water. The £96,000 Mercedes sports car was swept away in a swollen river and the motorist had to be rescued as it sank.

Although the track is signposted as unsuitable for motor vehicles', the driver carried on and found herself at a ford in the village of Sheepy Magna.

Fffffing stupid people surely common sense woman :thinking:


but of course she is a woman with a nice car so is a safe driver /lol nice cheap insurance
Shame the insurance company cannot apply a stupid tax for just such people I'm sure that not the first time Does anyone remember that lorry with half a dozen cars smashed up by doing exactly the same thing blindly following sat nav
