I absolutely hate sat-navs and I don't think you can ever fully trust them.<\/p>\n
I've heard so many stories about people getting stuck in remote locations when they have been tying to find a well-known place.<\/p>\n
A lorry driver recently had a nightmare after he turned down a narrow street because the device told him to, only to cause £115,000 worth of damage.<\/p>\n
Daniel Gyongyosi – who has nearly 30 years experience of operating heavy goods vehicles in Hungary – jack-knifed his truck while trying to take a tight corner in Colchester.<\/p>\n
It got even worse for the poor lad, as it turns out the two buildings he damaged were Grade-I listed and he claimed the reason he got confused was because he couldn't understand the road signs.<\/p>\n
Luckily for Gyongyosi he escaped with a £40 fine, but the fool may face further penalties from his employers when he returns to Hungary.<\/p>\n
