Women better at parking than men, study shows

Women are better at parking than men, according to research which contradicts popular belief.

Stereotyped views about women’s spatial skills should be put into reverse gear and beat a swift retreat, it appears, following a study by British car parks operator NCP which gave women a higher average score at parking than men.

They analysed technique, accuracy and time taken to park, giving women a score of 13.4 out of 20, compared to 12.3 for men.
