  *Obedient motorist crashes on satnav command*

//Tue Jan 16, 9:02 AM ET//

BERLIN (Reuters) - A 46-year-old German motorist driving along a busy 
road suddenly veered to the left and ended up stuck on a railway track 
-- because his satellite navigation system told him to, police said Sunday.

The motorist was heading into the north German city of Bremen "when the 
friendly voice from his satnav told him to turn left," a spokesman said.

"He did what he was ordered to do and turned his Audi left up over the 
curb and onto the track of a local streetcar line. He tried to back up 
off the track but got completely stuck."

The police spokesman said about a dozen trams were held up until a tow 
truck arrived to clear the car off the track.

Several German motorists have crashed their cars in recent months, later 
telling police they were only obeying orders from their satnavs.
