An article at the link below reports that the increase in drivers using satellite navigation devices is causing millions of pounds worth of damage to Britain's railway property.
Motorists led astray by their in-car technology have led to a sharp rise in problems caused to railway lines, bridges and crossings over the past few years.
The number of bridges hit by trucks travelling on inappropriate roads has doubled over the past decade.
Maybe the satellite navigation devices sold in Britain should supply operators with lessons in common sense.
Just because a navigation device suggests a motor route doesn’t guarantee that trucks are safe to use the roads and bridges shown on the sat-nav screen.
