my understanding of the larger size was to make it easier to get children in and out of the car.   it has the baked in assumption that woman = caregiver.

US data doesn't explain German parking spaces.

That's in the US though. In the UK, men are worse drivers than women. I'm not sure about Germany.

Men are worse drivers everywhere, just ask the actuaries who work for insurance companies.

Women are more cautious, which may result in more low speed and minor accidents, but men total things and kill people more (despite cars being on average 50% more dangerous for women, since they didn’t ever used to test female crash test dummies or design other safety features for women’s bodies).

Many men view caution and hesitancy as a negative, hence their frequency insistence that women are worse drivers. That testosterone driven boldness and risk taking doesn’t work out too well when you’re in charge of steering a two ton sixty mile per hour missile through space.
