Robert Jones said he trusted his navigational system and continued to follow it when it told him the steep, narrow footpath he was driving on was a road.

Mr Jones, from Doncaster, South Yorkshire, now faces court action for driving without due care and attention.

His BMW nearly plunged down a 100ft cliff in Todmorden, West Yorkshire, on Sunday.

He was only stopped from falling after the vehicle rammed into a wire fence.

I’m of the transitional age where we lived both with and without stuff like cellphones, GPS, Laptops, VCR, DVD, wireless, Ipods and even cassette tapes etc etc etc. We actually lived pretty good without them.

“It’s all well and good trusting your sat nav but how about trusting your eyes and when there’s not a road in front of you, don’t keep driving.”

I mean C’mon!
