In the latest of a long line of stories, another driver has blamed misguided sat-nav instructions for an error which left him stuck between two houses for three and a half hours.

The blunder, which saw a 40-tonne truck wedged between two houses, occurred in Bristol after the Polish driver was led up a steep lane by a sat-nav 'short cut'. Whilst the cabin of the lorry was able to fit through the gap, the back of the lorry was unable to pass, leaving the cabin protruding on an exposed corner.

Thankfully no major damage was caused, but local residents commenting on the situation explained that it was clear that the truck would be unable to pass through the small gap - challenging the blame which was associated to the sat-nav.

Other stories have seen tourists follow sat-nav directions into the sea, whilst misguided workmen set up scaffolding on the wrong house after following incorrect directions.
