I would have thought that the instinct of self-preservation would prevent a driver from going down a steepening, narrowing footpath just because his satnav told him to, but not in the case of this guy!
Anyone fancy a game of Spot-the-braincell?
IT WAS only when his BMW crashed into a fence on the edge of a 100ft drop that Robert Jones realised he had been led astray by his satnav.
Mr Jones, who drives for a living, plunged down a near-vertical footpath on the hills above Todmorden because the electronic device said it was a road.
He said: "It kept insisting the path was a road even as it was getting narrower and steeper so I just trusted it. You don't expect to be taken nearly over a cliff."

"When there's not a road in front of you, don't keep driving.
"I've heard of lorries getting stuck on village roads before but this really takes a lack of common sense to a whole new level."
A police spokesman said: "Nobody was hurt but when someone nearly drives off a cliff that shows a lack of care which needs to be investigated."
