Women are better at parking than men: Study

[Darthrevan]

(KOREA HERALD/ASIA NEWS NETWORK) - Women are better than men when it comes to parking, a recent survey found, reversing the existing idea that men have better spatial awareness.

 

The report by a car parking operator in the United Kingdom studied the parking habits of 450 drivers through CCTV footage and surveyed 2,000 more to find that women drivers received 13.5 out of 20 for 'parking coefficiency,' compared with 12.3 for their male counterparts.

 

The study looked into technique, accuracy and time taken to park. The study revealed that women drivers are also better at finding parking spaces than men.

 

Perhaps women drivers deserve more credit than they are used to getting,' said Mr Neil Beeson, a professional driving instructor who devised the experiment.

In my hdb car park, I see a lot of women driver going into in and out of a parking lot numerous time, trying to straighten the car.

[Hamburger]

this cant be debated and thus its very true...........

 

 

while men need only 2 attempts to park a car, women need 10 times or more to accomplish it. Obviously, they are better with all those practice.....

You may be aware that they still practice ladies first? No parking lot left for the poor men to park properly. Unfair?

Women are better at finding parking lot because they are a lot more bah, can keep one whole line behind waiting by driving so slowly looking for lot at the same time.

For certain, British women are better than Singapore women in general that they can drive manual, can do parallel parking (reasonably), understand the concept of giving way, & lane changing, & generally more considerate & show more coustesy. I am not sure if they park better than Singaporean women, but no way can they park better than men.

 

Its almost like saying men are better at knitting.

[Gasguzzler]

It doesn't apply to Singapore, at the very least.

[Expertz]

i realize that men generally rather zoom around the carpark than to slowly take time to survey the area for lots

2) not accurate but will also take ages to park.
