Damn the Swollen River, GPS Navigation Said Full Speed Ahead!

What happen if you trust your satellite navigation system over common sense? You get your £96,000 Mercedes sports car swept away in a swollen river:

Although the track is signposted as ‘unsuitable for motor vehicles’, the driver carried on and found herself at a ford in the village of Sheepy Magna.

Still accepting what the satnav told her, she set out to cross the ford, but it was swollen after days of heavy rain.
