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."
