oh dear.. blame the sat navs
No charge for sat-nav rail driver
A woman who drove on to a railway line after being told to by her satellite navigation system made "a bad but honest mistake," police have said.
The woman who drove on to the track near Eastbourne, blocking the Hastings to Brighton lines, has not been named.
She was waiting at a level crossing at Norman's Bay, Sussex, in January, when the device told her to turn left.
Pc Christine Holyoake, from British Transport Police, said the 52-year-old Surrey driver would not be charged.
Case closed
The woman from Dorking was investigated for obstructing the railway and driving without due care.
Police said they looked into the matter and investigated possible faults with the sat-nav device but found no fault. They also took into consideration the fact that it was dark.
Officers decided it had been a mistake and that a prosecution was not in the public interest. The matter is now closed, they said.
Trains were delayed for an hour by the incident.

The thing that worries me is that this idiot obviously aspired to driving a Merc.
What does that say about the rest of us??????
