Surveillance of parking lots across Great Britain has shown, contrary to popular belief, women are better at parking than men.
A comprehensive parking study took seven different parking styles into account and drew some interesting conclusions. Women are higher-quality parkers although they take longer to park, according to the footage. They were better at finding spaces, more accurate in lining themselves up to enter a space and more likely to use driving instructors’ preferred method of backing into spaces.
Men, on the other hand, were found to be more efficient and displayed more confidence, but less accurate when parking. Because they were less likely to reposition, they ended up more askew in their spots.
Niel Beeson, the driving instructor who designed the experiment, said he found the results surprising.
“In my experience men have always been the best learners and usually performed better in lessons,” he said. “However, it’s possible that women have retained the information better. The results also appear to dispel the myth that men have better spatial awareness than women.”
