Blundering cabbie stops on Stoke-on-Trent A50 to 'sort sat-nav'
A blundering cabbie is facing police action - after stopping on the A50 to 'sort the sat-nav'. Staffordshire road crime team discovered the taxi on an exit slip-road off the dual-carriageway. It resulted in other vehicles having to swerve out of the way of the taxi and sparked queues. A Staffordshire Police spokesman said: "If you are lost please don't stop in a live lane of a dual-carriageway to sort the sat-nav. Unlike this taxi driver we came across on the A50 where other cars had been swerving out of the way to avoid a collision and also causing unnecessary tailbacks. The driver has been reported."

Watch: New footage of Ukraine's daring drone raid on Russian planes
Credit: Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) Ukraine has released new footage of its daring raid last week that struck four Russian airfields. The clip, posted by Ukraine's Security Service (SBU), appears to show a first-person view drone taking off from a mobile wooden cabin and flying across fields before landing on a Russian Tu-22M3 strategic bomber. Footage from the drone seems to show a previously hit plane engulfed in flames. The attack on Belaya airbase in Siberia – which is more than 2,500 miles from Ukraine – was part of the wider Operation Spiderweb on June 1 in which drones were planted on trucks and launched at key strategic sites across Russia. In total, 41 planes were damaged, Kyiv claimed, including bombers used to attack Ukrainian cities, and an A-50 spy plane. The attack was reportedly 18 months in the planning and is estimated to have caused about £5 billion in damage. Broaden your horizons with award-winning British journalism.
