Sat-Nav

[Guest guest]

A driver, stranded after he drove into a river, said his sat-nav

system guided him in there.

 

The mini-bus driver was on his way to collect a fare in Castle Acre,

near King's Lynn, Norfolk, when he took a wrong turn into the River

Nar.

 

Pat Bowles, from Streamline Taxis, said: " Normal people would stop

and back out but because his sat-nav told him to keep going that's

what he did.

 

" I don't think he did think until he couldn't go any further. "

 

The incident happened as the driver was following his sat-nav on

Saturday.

 

Ms Bowles said it had given the driver's colleagues plenty of

amusement: " He's had taxi drivers going into the office with snorkels

on.

 

" We've also had phones calls, texts coming through asking if they can

book river trips. "
