When it comes to bad driving practices like tailgating and parking across lines, fingers most often point to BMW drivers. But is there any truth to the stereotypes?
Are BMW drivers really the worst at parking ? Picture: Scrap Car ComparisonWhen it comes to bad driving practices like tailgating and parking across lines, fingers most often point to BMW drivers.
However, 68% of the BMW drivers in the survey indicated they need such assistance, a whopping 20% above the average. Narrowing it down to vehicle propulsion types, drivers of electric vehicles fared worst, with 66% admitting they needed assistance with their parking, versus 49% for owners of hybrid or petrol cars, while owners of diesel vehicles fared best at 39%. Could it be that the latter tend to drive commercial vehicles and are thus better practiced?
Unsurprisingly, parallel parking was considered to be one of the trickiest manoeuvres, with drivers often misjudging the distance to the curb and using an incorrect amount of lock on the steering wheel. Most drivers said they felt confident with vertical parking, with just 3% of respondents indicating a lack of confidence in this nose-first manoeuvre.
