Turn left at the living room

Our quest for sat nav stories brings us to Bodfari in North Wales, where Amanda Sandland lives in terror in a house on a tiny country lane that shows up on sat navs as a short cut.

Trouble is that lorry drivers who do everything their computer tells them to do have banged into her little house 15 times, leaving her with huge bills and even bigger insurance premiums.

Amanda's daughter has moved out, because she was frightened when a lorry ploughed into the house a few feet from her bedroom.

Now Amanda's too scared to watch TV in the front room in case she gets buried under the rubble.

"I don't blame the drivers," she told The Sun. "They are just following instructions."
