A new survey published has shown that 47% of women drivers think they have a poor sense of direction.
The poll carried out by courier company Boxby.co.uk showed that around a quarter of women get lost while driving.
And car insurance firms will be interested to know that of these, around two thirds manage to lose their way in their own home town.
The survey of male drivers showed very different results however, with around 85% saying their sense of direction was very good.
Women disagreed with this assessment, with more than a third (35%) saying they knew men who get lost on the roads on a regular basis.
A total of 1,087 women and 870 men were polled, with the survey showing that 72% of men preferred to drive on rather than stop to ask for directions - a trait considered annoying by 75% of women.
The poll also found that 29% of women admitted they had asked a partner or friend to park their car, with 42% saying they would drive past a space in a car park if it looked too difficult to get into.
In contrast, two thirds of men said they had never been beaten by a parking space.
Boxby.co.uk managing director Sandra Patterson said: "I think our study proves that men often think they are the stronger sex when it comes to driving, especially in terms of confidence."
