Directions by Jeremy Clarkson

Driving can be stressful, so what you don’t need is a sat nav which gives you instructions in Jeremy Clarkson’s voice.

If you choose to use this new voice, being released by TomTom in October, your GPS navigation system will order you – amongst other panic inducing phrases – to “Turn right. Turn RIGHT. You missed it! For the love of . . . !”

“It’s not a gentle sat nav voice, put it like that,” stated Mr Clarkson.

Road users who are easily panicked by the tone of voice used by the famous Top Gear presenter may wish to switch to the new Stig sat nav voice.

Jeremy Clarkson explains, “You can put it in Stig mode, apparently, which is when nothing happens. It doesn’t speak to you at all.

“So you can either have Stig or me and personally I would use the Stig most.”

There are reports that TomTom has been in contact with Jeremy’s co-presenters, in a bid to add their voices to its sat nav instruction repertoire, however Mr Clarkson doesn’t seem to think they’d work very well.

“Hammond, well that wouldn’t work because he hasn’t got the patience.

“James May genuinely doesn’t have a sense of direction.”

We love getting new voices on our sat navs and we’ll try any voice at least once. Let’s see how long we last when getting ordered about by infamous Clarkson.
