Has your satnav ever fooled you?<\/p>\n
I know from my own experience that the electronic device can be infuriating and blindly following its instructions can lead to problems.<\/p>\n
That said, I have never ended getting a heavy goods vehicle stuck down an alley.<\/p>\n
But this is what happened to a hapless driver in Bruton, Somerset, as he tried to deliver soft drinks to a local shop.<\/p>\n
According to the Daily Mail, the man reversed into an alleyway in search of a parking space and continued to push through despite it being very tight.<\/p>\n
Because of the incline, once he got stuck he was unable to free the truck and it had to be left overnight.<\/p>\n
Mike Clifford, landlord at the nearby Sun Inn, said: "This event was the talk of the town and the driver got ripped to pieces by the locals when he came into the pub."<\/p>\n
It took a rescue team six hours to release the vehicle the next day.<\/p>\n
