The issue here might have to do with hormones and spacial skills. BBC Monday, 24 January, 2005, 15:00 GMT
'Bad driving 'linked to hormones'
"Spatial skills such as map reading and parking may be difficult for some women because they had too little testosterone in the womb. Some men have long held that women are deficient in these skills. Scientists from the University of Giessen, Germany, writing in the journal Intelligence found a lack of the hormone affects spatial ability."
"Dr Nick Neave, British Psychological Society...," "...is an evolutionary psychologist at the University of Northumbria who specializes in spatial awareness and gender differences." He says: "The sexes do use different skills to find their way around. Men seem to be able to keep the route in their head without landmarks, whereas women do use them. "So men may be better at finding the car when its parked in a huge shopping center car-park. It may also tap into driving and parking abilities." He added: "Men do seem to be better at spatial abilities, and women at verbal and emotional skills.
