Female drivers are more likely than men to suffer memory blanks behind the wheel and are more susceptible to allowing their minds to wander, a study by Britain's AA motoring organisation has found. More than one in seven drivers polled admit they regularly suffer memory blanks on the road.The survey of more than 27000 motorists found that 15% are often not able to recall the last few moments of their journey.The AA said the figure could indicate that drivers need to concentrate more.The worst-affected age group was 25- to 34-year-olds, with almost a quarter admitting to regular memory blanks. Just 9% of drivers aged over 65 said they suffered from the problem.Edmund King, president of the AA, said the blanks might be due to drivers being distracted by phone calls, passenger conversations or simply daydreaming.He said: "Motoring memory blanks may be an indication that the driver is not concentrating on the road ahead."It is good practice as a driver to question yourself as to whether you could safely stop if a child walked out from behind that parked car. Many drivers also go on to autopilot when they are close to home after a long journey, and that is a good time to remind yourself to concentrate harder to get home safely."According to government figures, the most common contributory factor in road accidents is people failing to look. The latest statistics show this occurred in 44% of accidents in 2014, up from 32% in 2005.About 6.9million British motorists have been found to lack confidence in their skills to the extent they believe they would fail a retake of their test.Nearly a fifth of qualified drivers doubt they would be able to earn a pass because of their bad parking, turning and other practical skills. ..
