New research suggests that a third of women admit they prefer to take a back seat when it comes to driving.

Despite a whopping 74% of women believing that THEY are the better driver in their relationships, 84% of men do the driving, according to the survey by car club company Ubeeqo.

One in five (20%) women backed down and confessed that they believe their partner is the safer driver.

The research also found that a quarter (25%) of men believe that their partner prefers to be a passenger, while a further 14% believe they know how to get to A to B better than their other half.

Interestingly, considering the amount of arguments it traditionally causes, 26% of women believe their partner has a better sense of direction.

In rarer cases where the women in the relationship (16%) is the dominant driver, 20% admit that they are so only because of insurance purposes.
