Men 'get lost more than women' when driving
Male drivers tend to get lost for longer than women motorists, according to a new report.
Research carried out by car insurance provider Sheila's Wheels found that the average man will drive for an extra 276 miles each year because they are lost, compared to 256 miles for women.
The survey also showed that 26 per cent of men will wait for at least half an hour when lost before asking someone else for directions, while 12 per cent refuse to seek any help at all.
However, 74 per cent of women said they have no problem asking for directions from a stranger and 37 per cent admit to seeking help as soon as they know they are lost.
Jacky Brown at Sheilas' Wheels said: "Our research not only reveals that men aren't quite as confident behind the wheel as they make out when it comes to navigation but also that women are in control when it comes to modern motoring."
Last month, the firm claimed that women appear to be calmer, less distracted and safer drivers than men during the summer months.
