When asked if she did not find the length of the journey - or the change in language - strange, Ms Moreau replied: ‘Maybe, but I was just preoccupied.'

Not sure if serious or just f...'I was a bit absent-minded as I had a few things to think about, I suppose.'
king retarded. 
(Or she suffered a temporary fugue state).
Sounds like your average pratnav user, however they are a usefull indicator as to the standard of driving or lack of it!!! even more so than the make of car or a driver wearing a hat and the more prominent the thing is
the worse the driver will be, be very afraid if its in the middle of the screen on the drivers side...

Well I once knew a couple of women who drove all the way round the M25 to get from Maidenhead to a campsite somewhere near Bournmouth .
.. something confused them on the M4 and they only realised something was wrong crossing the Thames at Dartford.
Yes - they were terminally dim and had little common sense.

It's probably more common then you might think, in the days before satnav I knew some people who apparently spent the best part of a day doing loops of the Menai and Britannia bridges simply because the wanted to get to Anglessey and were aware that they had to cross the Menai bridge but weren't aware that these days it's the Britannia Bridge you cross and there is also a village called Menai Bridge... something confused them on the M4 and they only realised something was wrong crossing the Thames at Dartford.
Yes - they were terminally dim and had little common sense.
So they crossed the Britannia, picked up signs for the village, went through the village and back across the Menai Bridge where they would pick up signs for Anglessey taking them to the Britannia which they crossed and then picked up signs for the village...
That is astonishing.
She must have a secret lover or something out there, then when she realised she'd been gone for 2 days whilst telling her son she'd be 2 hours, she had to ring him and tell him a lie. By then, the police already knew and she had to continue with her story. Then it got out into the papers.
I won't accept someone could be that moronically stupid and still exist. Several fuel stops, had to stop for a nap, to do 38 friggin miles!
