WHY WOMEN CAN'T PARK...

When it comes to having a car crash, men and women conform to stereotype, a new study of insurance claims has revealed, and as it's such a controversial subject we thought we'd share it with you.

Although women have more minor scrapes at slower speeds - such as denting the car while parking - men tend towards spectacular high-speed head-on smashes.

Women drivers appear to be more forgetful, distracted and downright scatty - losing keys, bumping cyclists and parked cars, and getting into trouble at traffic lights.

Aggressive, risk-taking men, by contrast, are more likely to hit pedestrians, trees and other cars head-on at high speed.

Female drivers are more likley to lose their keys or be involved in low-speed collisions than men

Road safety experts say the statistics provide compelling evidence that women are prone to lapses in concentration whilst men are most liable to reckless behaviour on the road. So now you know.
