Research has shown that when parking and maneuvering, drivers do not always make optimal choices, as stated by "Za Rulem".
These habits can reveal a lot about the personal qualities of drivers. Here are some of them:
Backing into a parking space may indicate a tendency toward planning and strategic thinking, as well as a willingness to work hard for future convenience;
Parking without regard for markings is not always a sign of rudeness; sometimes it can mean stress and emotional exhaustion;
Parking in several attempts is a sign of perfectionism, often observed in programmers, designers, and accountants;
The desire to park closer to the store entrance may indicate a psychological need for a symbolic victory;
Parking next to another car in an empty lot may reflect herd instinct and a desire for "survival" within a group.
Additionally, the stereotype that women park worse than men was debunked in 2012 by the British company NCP (National Car Parks), which conducted a study among 2,500 drivers.
