According to a new study by NCP women know the ins and outs of parking cars better than men. The study took place for over a month and tested 2,500 men and women on their ability to park based on speed, accuracy, and parking technique.

The trials consisted of the amount of time it took for both the men and women to find a parking spot as well as other aspects of parking. The participants were also asked about how they felt about their parking ability.

The results were surprising. Men were more confident about their driving abilities than women  but the women in the study actually scored higher than the men during the trials.

“I personally believe that men park better than women.” said Zenus Binder, who has been driving for six months. “Men are generally faster learners than women and have better reflexes.”

The study also revealed a difference in parking skill.

“As an interesting by-product of the research, we’ve also found out that there is a difference in parking skills between the sexes, although perhaps not in the way most people expected.” said NCP Chief Executive Jo Cooper.

All in all, men should show women a little more respect instead of cracking sexist jokes when it comes to parking.
