Confusing Sat Navs have caused more than £200 million worth of damage to cars in the past 12 months, it was revealed today. As many as 83% of Sat Nav users have been misled by their system, a survey, appropriately, by Confused.com found.
Of those led astray, 52% ended up screaming at their devices, while 68% have ended up doing longer journeys and clocking up unnecessary miles.
The poll of 2,000 drivers also revealed that women were more likely than men to get angry with their Sat Nav.Drivers in the East Midlands exhibit the most rage whilst those happiest with their Sat Navs were from Northern Ireland. Scots appeared to be the people most misled by their devices. The worst spot for Sat Nav anger was the Welsh city of Aberystwyth, where 75% of drivers admitted to regularly losing their temper with their device.
Confused.com, said: 'Our research has shown that the Sat Nav is not always the blessing it was once hailed to be and, increasingly, motorists appear to be citing the device as a source of frustration and danger.'
Gareth said: “Well at least it gives us someone else in the car to blame!”
