	News: Driver slapped with £900 fine for following TomTom You may recall the case of Robert Jones who blindly followed his SatNav and drove his 5-Series BMW down a dirt track in West Yorkshire, very nearly driving off the edge of a cliff as a result. Calderdale Magistrates quite rightly levelled all the blame at Mr Jones rather than the SatNav and slapped him with a fine and costs amounting to nearly £900 in total along with six points for his foolishness. The path is a bridleway and it serves as a timely reminder that SatNav is not an auto-pilot whose directions should be slavishly obeyed but instead it is a guide. It is not a replacement for good observation and common sense. Sky News have a picture of the car teetering on the cliff edge here. Click here to read more... Click here to discuss...
