The cliché that men are better drivers and that women are clueless about parking cars has been busted! The British car park firm NCP, employed a team of researchers to observe 2,500 drivers across its 700 car parks for one month. They found that though men are more confident, they lack the patience to park their cars properly. Women are slower but they follow instructions better and retain more information from driving lessons. So women on the whole proved to be better at parking cars.....in car parks. The study did not cover parallel parking, in which men are bound to be better because of their confidence.
The pretty girl in the photo is actually actress and singer Victoria Justice; she's not trying to look clueless, just posing for a photoshoot in a classic red Chevrolet!
Another study in the US last month, by an online insurance group compared statistics of traffic violations and accidents between male and female drivers. The results: women are 27 percent less likely to be in car accidents than men! Because of their confidence, men tend to take more risks, and are generally more aggressive drivers. The study by 4autoinsurancequote.org found that men are more likely to get citations for speeding, and reckless driving. Auto insurance for men is also higher than for women.
