Welsh drivers rated the best at parking

Motors | | Published: 14:28, Monday June 22nd, 2015.

Welsh drivers have been named the best car parkers in the country.

Whether they’re reversing in Rhyl or parallel parking in Prestatyn, Welsh drivers are officially the most safe and accurate in the UK.

Just one in 100 Welsh drivers surveyed by car firm Nissan claimed to have had a parking accident.

Nissan asked 9,177 motorists in Italy, Spain, Germany, France and the UK to review their parking performance over the past five years and confess to any parking misdemeanours.

The survey revealed that UK drivers are safer parkers than counterparts in Italy, Spain, Germany and France
The results showed that drivers in Wales recorded the fewest number of bumps, scrapes and prangs while parking, with just 1% of respondents admitting to having had a parking accident.

By contrast, Scottish drivers revealed themselves to be the least conscientious in the UK with 6% confessing to a parking accident in the last five years.

Italian drivers were the most accident-prone with one in two admitting to damaging their cars over the same period – 26% of them doing so while attempting a parking manoeuvre. By contrast, British drivers were the most cautious, with just 10% reporting a parking-related incident.
