He didn't say what he was good at; obviously not driving.

He was probably following instructions from his GPS unit. Turn right....100 yards ahead Stepdaughter did that to me on her first ever driving lesson. We'd gone no more than about 50 yards and I started to say "turn left at the T junction ahead". Got as far as "turn left" and she did - straight off the road and through a fence  I'd only had the car about 2 weeks and she managed to find the 4x4 post that was supporting the fence with the centre of the bonnet! Apparently it's a known problem, which is why instructors / examiners always start with "at the T junction / roundabout / whatever" then tell you which way to turn. |

MapQuest has its erroneous moments too. One set of MQ directions recently routed me to a location on the wrong side of a freeway (north instead of south). Fortunately their corresponding map was correct and I didn't follow the erroneous directions.
