Sadly this is typical of council mentality.

Problem caused by a few numpties or low lifes?

Never mind getting to the route of the matter, far easier to just shut it down or close it off.

I know exactly what you mean. Time was you could have 6 or 7 pints and drive home, no bother. Then a few "numpties or low lifes" decide to trash their cars and instead of sorting them out they make the rest of us take taxis everywhere.

I have a really cheap and nasty ebuyer sat nav and it's... er... quite creative in its directions from time to time. "Speed camera 56400 yards ahead, take note".... Riiight!
I tend to spend large parts of a journey ignoring it.

My brother was amused when he rented a car in the USA. He got onto the interstate and was informed by the satnav "after 450 miles, turn right".

I assume this is a joke.

Just in case anyone takes it seriously you qualify as a numptie/low life when you decide to drive the car whilst drunk, not when you crash it.

When computerised route planning was in its infancy I tried a very early version of Autoroute.

It started off OK:

"Drive for 2 miles"
"At Little Wallop bear left"
"Drive for 1 mile and take the junction to join the M4"

Then things got a little tricky

"At London, bear right"
