Research Says Women Are Better Than Men at Parking!

Contrary to popular belief, women are 'officially' better at parking than men.

Car Parking - women are more considerate and conscientious, it seems!

"Stereotyped views on driving have been shaken after new research that finds women are more efficient parkers than men. The experiment, conducted by UK's National Car Parks, showed that women's spatial awareness has been underrated, or perhaps that males' spatial awareness has been overrated."

Men were, however, happier with their parking job than were women (even though objectively it was worse) and generally more confident about their abilities..........

First response from Penelope on the FB page: men are more aggressive when driving in general...Women are more aware of people, trolleys and little people...The amount of times I've had to whisk my grandson up into my arms in Morrisons (Bude) car park as the bloke in the car sees me but has not taken note that I am holding something in my hand... namely a child's hand..they just look as you angrily as if it's your fault THEY didn't see the child.
