Study finds that women are better at parking cars than men | Arlington Traffic Attorney
A study in Great Britain using surveillance cameras in various parking lots finally proves that women are better parkers than men. No, that was not a misprint!
Men and women drivers were watched and graded on seven different parking styles. Footage showed that women took more time to find a favorable parking space while men took the first convenient space found. Women also more often noticed drivers about to vacate their spaces to get a better spot.
Although women took much more time parking, 53% were more accurate at centering their car over 25% of men. Women were also observed driving at more appropriate speeds and more often found backing into their parking space than men.
Men also displayed a bizarre showing off behavior when they had a female in the car by choosing a smaller space to squeeze their car into.
Oddly more women were found to fail the parking portion of their driving exam and when polled believed that they were not as good as men at parking their cars.
