Dare I say this, new findings reveal that men are naturally better drivers than women, following an experiment involving over 70 pre-school boy and girls who took part in a series of controlled tests. The research was conducted using electric Roary the Racing Car ride-ons at the motor racing circuit Brands Hatch.
The findings proved that although girls were slightly quicker off the mark at the start of the race, boys were 34% better at concentrating and demonstrating visual-spatial skills whilst driving in a straight line.
Although girls' overall speed is 5% faster than boys when racing straight, boys are 20% better than girls at maintaining their line.
Pre-schoolers aged 3-4 years were deemed best for this study to test natural driving ability, according to child psychologist Donna Dawson, who went on to say 'The research proved that the boys come up trumps, but that the girls also excelled in different areas, such as listening and better hand coordination.'
When manoeuvring around cones, boys pipped the girls on speed by 10%, whilst girls had greater focus and better hand dexterity.
Surprisingly, the reverse test reveals that boys are 17% better than girls at doing two things at once, such as moving and steering whilst looking over their shoulder.
