Brits come clean about losing their cars

Over a third of UK motorists have admitted to forgetting where they have left their car in parking lot, according to a recent survey conducted by Parkopedia.com, the world’s leading parking information provider.

Of the total number of respondents surveyed, 24% of men confessed to misplacing their motor in the parking lot while 32% of women pleaded guilty to the same charges. When it comes to age, the study found that motorists aged 55-64 were most likely to forget where they had parked their car followed by 18-24 year-olds.

Motorists living in Wales may have some of the best driving roads around, but have the worst luck with remembering where they’ve left their cars once they’ve parked them; nearly 40% saying they had trouble finding their cars in a car park. On the opposite end of the spectrum, motorists in London reported the least trouble, with only 18% having forgotten where they left their car.

“Forgetting where you’ve parked your car can be very frustrating for motorists. commented Christina Onesirosan Martinez, Marketing Director at Parkopedia.com “Although Parkopedia.com can help you find the perfect spot, motorists need to make sure they remember where that spot is once they’ve left their vehicle. Simple tips like parking in the same place each time you use a specific lot, writing down the number of the parking bay if available or parking near a recognisable landmark are all easy little tricks to help you remember where you left your car.”
