Fed up with large trucks getting stuck along a narrow laneway that their navigation systems sent them down, residents of the Hampshire village of Exton asked for, and received, signs warning drivers to disregard their GPS receivers, The Mail on Sunday reports. One resident told the paper:

About two years ago we noticed a real increase in drivers using the lane. Vehicles are getting stuck and having to reverse back up, damaging the wall and fence. There’s even a piece of metal embedded 12 ft up in a tree which looks like it’s come off a lorry.

When I’ve asked drivers why they are using the lane they say they are just following satnav.
