Scientific research now confirms what every guy already secretly knew: women are worse at parking a car than men.

Researchers in Germany asked 65 people to park an Audi A6 sedan in a standard parking spot in three ways: head-on, reverse, and parallel. The subjects were timed and rated for how far they kept the car from the edges of the parking spot.

The scientists from Ruhr University in Bochum, Germany found that women were not only slower than men in parking - by an average of 20 seconds longer than men - but also were less accurate.

The study confirmed earlier findings that men have better coordination and spatial awareness than women.
