Women and gay men are 'worst drivers'

Women and gay men are likely to be the worst drivers, a new study has shown.

Research has revealed that both perform poorly in tasks involving navigation and spatial awareness when compared to heterosexual men.

Psychologists at Queen Mary, University of London, who conducted the study, believe the findings mean driving in a strange environment would be more difficult for gay men and women than for straight male motorists.

Both tend to rely on local landmarks to get around, and are also slower to take in spatial information.

The computer-based tests were carried out on 140 volunteers, and demonstrated that gay men, straight women and lesbians navigated in a similar way, sharing the same weaknesses.

The results back earlier studies supporting the stereotype that women are poor navigators.

But women are willing to ask for directions when they get lost. :banghead:  Men won't.



I do think that for most men, being lost is not an issue.  When I was a tourist in Europe, I found the most interesting things when I was lost.

So does that mean gay women are the worst??

I've always found Asian or Indian people to be worst drivers.

Heaven help me if I ever run into a gay Asian woman!  :rotf:
