"Locals in a North Yorkshire village are demanding that satnav companies remove from their databases a rural track recommended by in-car systems as a plausible route from Swaledale to Wensleydale, the BBC reports.
The problem is, the road is unsurfaced and runs alongside a 100ft cliff over which, the concerned villagers reckon, someone will eventually plummet. Carol Porter and hubby Steven, who live beside the carriageway of potential death, have been using their tractor to extricate bogged-down vehicles at the rate of one a week. More seriously, some drivers who are unable to progress attempt a reversing manoeuvre "perilously close to the cliff edge"."

I've set unpaved roads to 1mph in advanced settings and now routes correctly along main roads.
