Bad women drivers: not a myth trumpeted by men, say scientists

WOMEN find it difficult to read maps and park cars because of their experience in the womb, scientists claim.

They are generally exposed to less of the male hormone testosterone before birth than men.

This reduces their spatial ability in later life, say scientists. It also leaves a tell-tale imprint on their hands. Low pre-natal testosterone has genetic effects which cause the wedding ring finger to grow significantly shorter than the index finger.
