This truck got stuck in Britain. (source)
The Daily Mail recently reported on an unfortunate truck driver whose reliance on his satellite navigation system ended up getting him wedged in a backroad in Britain. (It’s not as sexy as it sounds) In its story, the Mail refers to the driver as “Slovakian,” which is odd given the fact that their picture above shows:
1) A Slovenian plate; LJ being short for Ljubljana.
2) The words “VOLVO SLOVENIJA” over the windshield.
Reader plavtrg wrote to the Daily Mail to point out their mistake, but so far they haven’t bothered fixing it. But don’t despair just yet! Reader Kris notes that the BBC got it right. So cheers to them! (And cheers to both of them for alerting me to this story)
The final question: would a sat-nav system have helped The Daily Mail get the story right? My guess: Probably not.
(Thanks plavtrg and Kris!)
