If I had been in a lorry and faithfully assumed Hood lane would get me back onto the A171 (despite it being very narrow) I would have been in a right mess.
The fact that you think like this speaks volumes regarding todays mindset of (for want of a better word) “drivers”
If you follow a satnav faithfully (I read blindly) despite the real world telling you different (ie - “despite it being very narrow”) then what other outcome would you expect than “being in a right mess”
Satnavs are not and never have been the problem regarding unsuitable route taking, but they may in part at least be to blame for helping the less astute “reach their destination”, albeit stuck under a bridge or in a muddy field…
