Welsh drivers most likely to get lost, according to survey

The typical Welsh driver spends 15.2 minutes lost on average, which is the highest in the country, and does this twice a month – that’s 1260 times lost in a lifetime!

About 24 per cent of Welsh drivers say they have spent more than 50 minutes lost on a single occasion before and one in ten (9 per cent) have driven over 40 miles while lost on a single occasion.
Only 53 per cent of Welsh motorists say they pull over as soon as they realise they are lost and almost one in ten (8 per cent) stubbornly refuse to ever pull over to ask for directions.
46 per cent of Welsh motorists have said they have been lost while driving, but pretended to know where they were going to a passenger.
Research reveals that the average male motorist drives an extra 276 miles every year as a result of being lost - the equivalent to a journey from London to Newcastle - compared to women's 256 miles.
The poll by Sheilas' Wheels car insurance found 26 per cent wait at least half an hour before asking for directions, with a stubborn one in ten male motorists refusing to ask a stranger for help at all. Proving that pride comes at a price, this "lost" drive time could be costing men as much as £2,000 in petrol in their lifetime.
