Nah, sorry - bit of journalistic spin eh?

The story being reported all morning on TV in the UK is that GPS is sending drivers on an *alternative route* because the bridge is closed and that alternative is a perfectly useable ford. Drivers have been getting stuck because it's rained a lot recently on higher ground, making the route too deep for a car (still fine for a 4x4 though).

AND they're still using their eyes, but unfortunately the depth guage in the ford is not at the deepest point, so drivers going down that route *THINK* it's passable when it isn't at the minute.
