We love these stories of satnavs gone bonkers. Just when we thought things couldn’t get any worse, we heard about this poor woman from London that was on her way to a party in Leicestershire, England in her Mercedes SL500. The birds were chirping, the sun was shining, and unfortunately her satnav led her into a winding road meant for farmers in their 4x4’s.
Avoiding common sense and signs that clearly read ‘unsuitable for motor vehicles’ the young lady attempted to cross a ford which happened to be swollen after days of rain. The lady and her car were swept 600 yards downstream until she was rescued by a brave nearby villager. Here’s the kicker - the car remained in the river a week after the incident until it was recovered by a tow-truck and according to Dailymail, it is believed that the SL500 is complete write-off.
