Is it true that a woman behind the wheel - trouble on the road? Do most women really fear and do not want to drive a car? After all, it is that most considers most.
In fact, there are different situation on the roads, but when the question arises about the bias to women drivers, everything is remembered by a stereotype - a woman behind the wheel is not a place. An excellent half of humanity is attributed to inadequate behavior behind the wheel, the lack of extreme driving skills, total inattention, the purchase of rights and other myths. Let's try to figure out how it really is.
Women prefer small cars
It is not true. It all depends on the woman itself. Someone prefers crossovers, someone small cars, and someone loves racing. But for most women more important than the function of the car and its safety.
Women are not able to take care and maintain the car
There are women who are really quite utilitarian about their car, but they are very small. Mostly the girl is much more careful and pedantic than men. They will wash the car regularly, follow its condition, etc. Even when the breakage will be insignificant, the woman is better rearranged and send a car to that.
Expensive car - gave
When a man or sometimes, the woman sees the young girl drives an expensive car, for example, Porshe Cayenne, then the thoughts immediately come that she earned such a car obviously not his own mind. Only no one occurs in the head that the girl could really buy such a car. The world is rapidly changing, today many ladies occupy high positions in business, so they themselves can decide what they have to buy cars.
The mirror distracts women, during the movement they are powder and tinted
We always run somewhere, so sometimes we do not have time to apply makeup, but women found a way out of this situation. Yes, indeed, many of us are powder and tinted using a rear-view mirror for this. But with one amendment: we do it only when we stand in a traffic jam, and not during the movement (we do not consider extreme cases in this case).
Women driving more often distracted
No statistics that may refute myth. But in 2010, the British police conducted an experiment: on a small section of the road they installed cameras, and it turned out that 14 drivers from those who drove were distracted by the road. They were all men. There is another small study - the American Road Safety Foundation. According to their data, women are more often distracted by the phone, but men are on conversations with passengers.
Women do not know how to park
The British company National Car Parks conducted a study during which it turned out that men were on average spent 16 seconds, women - 21 seconds. At the same time, 77% of women were parked, without violating the rules and did not interfere with other motorists. In men, this figure amounted to 53%. So in this case, you see, you can argue who parked better.
Women are poorly focused on the wheel due to topographic cretinism
In men and women, the brain works in different ways. Men are better oriented in space, and women better remember specific images. Women easier to navigate for some kind of objects, cafes, colors, etc. But in general, on the ground, we focus equally.
Women drip too slowly
Yes, in most cases, girls really go slowly, but it comes from inexperience or excessive accuracy. Still, do not forget that many of us got behind the wheel later than men.
Most women are afraid or do not want to drive a car
But this is true. And for this there is an explanation, and not one. First, most girls got used to take a taxi, with a driver or with the second half. Secondly, it is often in the fear of women to go behind the wheel to blame for the man - just because of the stereotypes and myths imposed by society. Thirdly, there is a completely earthly financial issue - we still have more girls earn less than representatives of the strong half of humanity. Therefore, in this case, the role of a lack of funds for the purchase of a good car plays. Fourthly, we are just a panty - sometimes afraid of possible accidents, weather conditions and even darkness.
