What a complete muppet!!

Even my relatively new tom tom gets a few of roads that are one way in London wrong.

Thankfully when I see rivers I tend to stop!


Mine does it, applying a bit of common sense and reading the road signs usually sorts it!

I wonder which the young lady was lacking in

That report has rather more than a whiff of class resentment about it.

Less "satnav and lack of common sense nearly killed a woman" and more "some rich bitch from London in a 96 grand motor (probably her dads cos she's only 20 something) drove into a river, humiliating herself more by crying for help, and then she got picked up by some smug bastard chauffer in a bentley. Cvnt."

If your dumb enough to sink a 96K car in this fashion then really you shouldnt even have that much money or be able to make that much to start with.

I hope they tell us who it is. Some of the coments on the BBC site are funny lol.

Thats just up the road from me, a lot of the villages get cut off for periods when it rains due to flooding.

You would have thought she'd have stopped when she saw the "Ford" sign, you know, being in the wrong manufacturers car and all

just goes to show, satnav is no sustitute for a brain!
