Ironically, Nicko's Diary on the IronMaiden website has an entry called Bad drivers and good golf

< snip >

"Well we were on our way by 1 hour and then the first van pulled into a petrol station our ‘Kin what they need gas. That’s out of order, came the general consensus. Well it turned out to be worse than that. Back at the drop off point Geezer Gadd had asked Michael if the driver of the front van new where he was going. Oh yes came the reply he’s a local lad knows where he’s going NOOOO PROBLEM! Yes right, it was only when Bruce realized that we were getting closer to Madrid that they made the guy pull off the road and confirm that he did in fact know where we were going.
It turns out that he kept insisting that he new where he was but in fact didn’t have a ‘Kin clue. Well we wanted to kill the guy honest. Picture this; we’re all standing, with the exception of Steve, outside the vans wanting to do this geezer a harming. That would not do would it boys and girls, but I must say that that was what was on all of our minds.
There’s Ian with his laptop out and his world map pulled up and it showed the guy what road we were on and how ‘Kin far out of the ‘Kin way we had travelled. It was about 80 miles North of where we had started from, and so it took us 2 hours out of our way. We originally planed to be airborne for 2:30ish and be back in Blighty for around 3:30am. The flight was expected to take just a little under 2 hours. With the 1 hour time change, that would mean a 3:30 arrival."

It will be fun to read the account of his latest scrape.
