Re: I was just following the satnav...

Ref the Edinburgh ‘flight of steps’, I’ve failed to find any images. Found a few pics of other stranded vehicles from same perspective, like the Beeb’s, but nothing of the actual steps. Not defending the stranded drivers, mind you. They’ve clearly driven right over a pavement, without even a droppe...

Re: I was just following the satnav...

But if the first vehicle to turn down the steps makes it to the bottom would that confirm that the route is passable and therefore valid? If it makes it (and doesn't require recovery) then, on a yes/no scale, it was passable. However, returning to the 'look where you're going' statement. Have a loo...

Re: I was just following the satnav...

Feels a bit like a solution looking for a problem rather than telling folk to use their eyes? (and taking driving licenses away from folk who can't be bothered to do that). The wider possibilities are almost endless. Ever hit a pothole? One vehicle hits it, reports it to the system, every vehicle t...

Ironically, if the full capabilities of Conne...
