News: Should HGV drivers be fined when they get stuck?

An MP is calling for 'Gormless' lorry drivers to be fined when they get stuck after blindly following their satnav.

Ian Liddell-Grainger, Conservative MP for Somerset, speaking in the House of Commons, said lanes were all too often clogged up by lorries that had become stuck after blindly following satnav directions with damage frequently caused.

Should fines be issued to drivers caught out in these cases or is it the responsibility of the haulage companies to equip them with HGV specific systems?

Or is there already sufficient legislation in place to cater for this, surely careless and inconsiderate driving covers much of this?
