Careless Women Drivers... And Men Even More So...

How many studies does this world need to get it through its head that people like cars, like buying them, like watching them, like making the paint on them shine, but rarely bother to look under the hood after they've began using it?

A new study, this time conducted by Autoquake, “an online used car supermarket,” as it likes to call itself, claims to shed some new light into who is the worst caregiver for a car: a men or a woman? Nonsense... It only shows what has been known since the dawn of the automobile: people, regardless of their gender, don't care about the air pressure in the spare tire, for instance.

Autoquake says female drivers are worse then men when it comes to caring, or should we say lack of. We, on the other hand, see that the difference between the genders and their habit is insignificant. Let's see.

43 percent of women never check the spare tire air pressure, while 37 percent of the men tend to neglect that as well. 24 percent of women fail to check their brake fluid level, with 21 percent of the men doing the same. And the list goes on, and on, and on, with this small margins.

Now, think of it this way... There are many more male drivers in the UK (and the world, for that matter), where Autoquake conducted the study (on an unspecified number of individuals, not to forget), than there are women.

Which, for us, means that, when it comes to numbers, the 21 percent of the men who fail to check the brake fluid level is waay bigger than the 24 percent of women who don't like to get their hands dirty.
