So concerned is the government about drivers relying solely on satellite navigation to find their way about, that it intends to add to the driving test a requirement that candidates navigate to a particular location using normal direction signs alone.

It is sad but true that there is now a whole generation of motorists who arrive at their destination without knowing how they got there. But one man who didn’t arrive at all was the chap who blindly drove his BMW up a steep trackway to the very rim of a 100 ft precipice. It took nine hours to rescue him, and he has now been charged with driving without due care and attention.
