The satnav sent him up a bridle path apparently, but not sure any satnavs I've ever had have included bridal paths... Confused

Either way, the guy was an idiot but I'm surprised they've thrown the book at him to be honest Rolling Eyes

Driving without due care and attention is a bit of a catch all charge, a bit like drunk and disorderly - you have had a drink and not doing what Mr PC tells you to. You're nicked. Not that I've ever been nicked for it. Usually much worse. Whistle

Anyways, the charge could have been related to leaving the public road onto unsuitable private road. Typical sensationalist tabloid reporting, just the sensationalist bit and none of the actual detail for intelligent types like us.

Still, he was a bit of a plank! Laughing

Given that equates to 1/4million miles a year, it must be a typo - 500 miles a week more like Rolling Eyes
