Lost - Episode 2

It's official. In relation to my previous post about male drivers, I've just read the results of a survey that says male drivers waste nearly six million hours a year by refusing to admit they are lost. The survey from RAC Direct Insurance says that British men wait an average of 20 minutes before accepting defeat and asking for directions. This contrasts with lost women drivers, who wait just ten minutes before getting help.

And in another confirmation of my theory, men also endure a ten-minute period of nagging from their partner before caving in.

One in four people still navigate using scribblings on scraps of paper, though one in five drivers now have satellite navigation.
