 Must be a slow news day as the papers report another 'SatNav to blame for idiot driver' news item.
This one comes courtesy of The Telegraph who report the case of Satlegh Mohammadi who drove his Fiesta onto the main Doncaster to Hull line.
Mohammadi claimed his SatNav was to blame for instructing him to turn onto the tracks but a court was told that he had been drinking at the time of the incident and had been arrested at the scene by Police Officers although the subsequent test measured him as just below the drink-drive limit.
Mohammadi was banned for 20 months and given a 12 month community order plus £60 costs.
