Women and gay men are 'worst drivers'

By Sarah Radford and agencies

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.

That may be true in the general sense, but not in our house!  I'm the navigator of the family.

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.

If I'm being tailgated it's usually by a woman on a cell phone.

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:

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

There's a reason why patriotism is considered a conservative value. Watch a Tea Party rally and you'll see people proudly raising the American flag and showing pride in U.S. heroes such as Thomas Jefferson. Watch an OWS rally and you'll see people burning the American flag while showing pride in communist heroes such as Che Guevera. --Bob, from some news site
