In the AAA study, men who were lost stopped to ask for directions 34 percent of the time and women, 37 percent, figures that researchers say are too close to conclude that a difference exists. Couples in the study often tried to find the correct route themselves and most were lost for less than 30 minutes before getting back on their way. A scant 0.5 percent were lost for more than four hours, and another 0.7 percent never did make it to their destination. More good news from the study is that, by far, it appears that Americans are not getting lost very often. Out of more than 2,000 randomly selected U. S. adults in the study only 156 reported being lost while driving with their spouse or significant other in the past two years.
