I found this story in the register and had to share it.

“The driver of a £96k Mercedes SL500 had a lucky escape after her satnav directed her down a winding track and straight into the River Sence in Sheepy Magna, Leicestershire, the Leicester Mercury reports”

I have to disagree a little, the satnav didnt direct her into the river pure stupidity did.
