TomTom is fine giving the voice intructions to go over the roundabout, third exit etc.
But when you're travelling rapidly along the 'B'-roads, it would good if it could shout instructions like the rally co-drivers - "100 left 3, tightens, don't cut!" sort of thing. I'm sure the software could analyse the map info for the road immediately ahead and do this; it would certainly speed you progress along the rat-runs  |

Oh!!
Your the driver that makes other road users swerve out of the way.
Your NOT the only road user.
I look forward to seeing you wrapped around a tree |

| That front number plate looks illegal to me. The more upmarket illegal plates have a moving block pattern when appearing on TV. |

Close enough! :P 
You could always create you own .wav files to replace the ones which came with Tom Tom. Find one of these rallying programs with in car footage, then sample the pace notes and put them in Tom Tom as the new .wav files. Sorted. |
