A new research contradicts the popular belief who says that men are better than women at parking. It seems that is exactly opposite.
news.com reports:
An analysis of drivers across England gave women a score of 13.4 out of 20 compared to 12.3 for men. Parking technique, accuracy and time taken were assessed in the research by a parking garage operator, NCP.
The study found men often missed available spaces by driving too quickly through car parks.
Well over a third of women opted to reverse into spaces – the method preferred by instructors – compared with just over a quarter of men.Researchers said the study found men also loved to “pose park” when accompanied by a female passenger by opting to squeeze into a small space when a bigger one was available.
The study was conducted by looking at CCTV footage of 453 drivers parking across the country with further research carried out into the views of 2,000 drivers.
Jo Cooper, NCP chief executive said: “Parking is our business, so we carried out the research to see how well people park their cars.
“As an interesting by-product of the research, we’ve also found out that there is a difference in parking skills between the sexes, although perhaps not in the way that most people expected.”
