Sat nav directs driver onto railway
Thursday March 8, 04:00 PM

A woman will not face prosecution after her satellite navigation system told her to drive onto a railway line.
The 52-year-old, from Dorking, Surrey, was waiting at a level crossing at Norman's Bay, near Eastbourne, East Sussex, on January 16 when the device told her to turn left.
She drove her silver Ford Fiesta onto the track at 7.30pm, blocking train services between Brighton and Hastings, a BTP spokeswoman said.
The unnamed woman was investigated for obstructing the railway and driving without due care, but police decided that pursuing a case against her would not be in the public interest.
PC Christine Holyoake said: "We have looked into the matter, and have come to the conclusion that the woman had made a bad but honest mistake.
"A prosecution is not in the public interest and the matter is now closed."

I wonder how far bouncing along the track she got before she realised she had a problem!
