Motorists misled

Nov 19 2007

AS many as 12% of people misdirect lost motorists, with some deliberately giving false information, it has been revealed.

Of those dispensing misinformation, around half say they are panicked into giving false directions, a survey of 1,008 adults by telephone company Orange found.

But more than a quarter send people the wrong way to show their one-upmanship while 27% just cannot be bothered to give the correct route.
