I've been at a festival camping in a field all weekend. I chose monday evening to drive through Hackney in a camper van painted with flowers to drop someone off in north London. The sat nav kept leading me into police blockades. I think I was lucky it kicked off an hour later. Then I headed home to Ealing. Fortunately I moved recently or I'd have had to drive through the riots there as well to get home. How's everyone else been dealing with it?

That's right! Blame the sat nav company for their input of all the riot sites.  
Have you never heard of the old established method before Sat Nav's?
It's called a street map. It comes in either a book format or fold out style. You look up the index, find out wheere you are coming from and going to,.... and work out the route between.
Stick with it, it could catch on! |

Sat nav will take you the most direct route. There are streets round here the police have4 cordoned off and you can't get to the supermarkets. Its not good and its a pisser some people think they are above the law and can do what they want. |

Well I was dropping someone off in North London. He gave me the same route the sat nav did. We didn't predict a riot and we were all pretty hung over too. |
