![]() ![]() ‘The Newswheel’ suggests applying the ‘LOSTCAR’ approach if you get lost without a GPS. Image credits: cottonbro studio (not the actual photo) It will save you a lot of time and stress.” Just spend 5 or 10 minutes reading through the roads you have to take. “If you make a wrong turn, it’s hard to get back to where you were. Don’t depend on the GPS telling you where to go in real-time,” the OP warned. “The worst thing you can do is drive without knowing where you’re going. “What I recommend every new driver does is study their route before they leave,” u/MotorMania85 suggested. Meanwhile, the redditor was kind enough to share some practical advice for new drivers who don’t (yet) have the experience navigating roads well. I’m now going to college to become a Porsche technician.” “Exploring random apps on my father’s phone back when I was 5 and I found this app called ‘Maps.’ I just studied the roads around me and found it interesting. ![]() What got me into roads was just boredom,” they told Bored Panda. “What got me into cars was my grandfather’s old classic car, a Porsche from 1958. The author was happy to tell us all about it. We were also very interested to hear about the OP’s passion for cars, maps, and roads. “I was scared of starting an argument by pushing it, and I wanted to see a new road anyway.” “My first reaction was just nothing, almost,” redditor u/MotorMania85 opened up to us. “The worst thing you can do is drive without knowing where you’re going”īored Panda was curious what the post author’s initial reaction was when their sister kept ignoring their advice about where (not) to drive. But if your navigation system starts glitching out or switches off altogether, you need to have the skills and the confidence to get to your final destination with just your wits. That’s not to say that GPS isn’t useful-it absolutely is. ![]() Looking at maps of the area yourself (whether physical or digital) in advance can help you spot possible mistakes before they pop up on the road. It’s in moments like this that you begin to realize that digital navigation systems, while very powerful, still aren’t immune to error. Being open to the idea that we can sometimes be wrong and actively listening to what others have to say are important skills to have. Instead of shutting the advice down, the author’s sister could have inquired about how they know about what roads to take. And that’s all thanks to the author’s interest in and study of local road maps. The end result was that the OP was eventually proven right: their advice would have gotten them to their destination far faster than what the GPS suggested. So when she asked u/MotorMania85 to stop offering advice, that’s exactly what the author did. However, their sister was unwilling to listen. The OP was clearly only trying to help their sibling get where they needed to go faster. The redditor’s story is all about miscommunication. Image credits: Kindel Media (not the actual photo) ![]()
