Drivers have been urged to properly plan their summer driving holidays properly, in order to avoid unnecessary stress.
According to the latest YouGov poll - conducted on behalf of the AA - more than half (53 per cent) of motorists have argued with a passenger over map reading, with those in the 45-60 age group being the worst culprits.
This is a quite a high number of arguments, particularly considering the fact that 35 per cent of longer journeys are now navigated by a sat nav.
The manager of AA Publishing David Watchus insists that navigating has the potential to cause arguments on any journey, so careful planning before leaving home can save a lot of trouble.
He added: "However, many problems occur if a detour is required and you have to rely on an old road atlas.
"Having an up to date atlas in your car can make for a much smoother journey all round."
For those who use a sat nav to find their way, TomTom recently announced that drivers can now be guided by the wise voice of Yoda, thanks to a new download.
