London: It's a research which is likely to reignite the cliched battle of the sexes -- women are much better at parking a car than men.
The research, which clearly contradicts the notion that women cannot park a car, has found female drivers are better at finding spaces and also more adept than men at manoeuvring a vehicle into a space -- though they may take longer to park.
Women were ranked first with a total score of 13.4 out of 20, compared to 12.3 points achieved by men in the study based on an experiment which took into account seven key components of parking styles, 'The Daily Telegraph' reported.
Neil Beeson, a professional driving instructor who devised the experiment, described the results as "surprising". "In my experience men have always been the best learners and usually performed better in lessons. 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. It shows that us men need to give our partners more respect when it comes to parking. The facts don't lie."
