   How would he know? He came from another country with the truck and load.   
   And here not every road is signalled for length or tonnage.   
   By the time he knew he couldn't reverse. You can not reverse one of   
   those things more than a few metres anyway.

   Exactly! The map navigator gadget did a mistake. It guided to a gas   
   station that no longer existed, for starters. They had wrong information   
   and bad updates.
