Ford asked British children about their parents' driving habits
Every child said their fathers were better drivers than their mothers
They also said it was annoying when their parents sang in the car.....
If you want to know what kind of driver you are, you might want to turn around and consult your passengers in the back seat.
Ford has quizzed a bunch of British children about their parents' driving for a lighthearted new campaign video.
When the boys and girls from the Oak Tree Nursery were asked whether 'mummy' or 'daddy' was the better driver, the unanimous response was: 'Daddy.'
One boy piped up, very matter-of-factly: 'Because he knows the way.'
A little girl concurred, nodding enthusiastically and stating of her mother: 'She's not very good at driving.'
The car giant surveyed more than 2,000 children across Europe and 61 per cent agreed that their fathers were better than their mothers on the road.
Asked whether their parents ever got 'annoyed' in the car, the Oak Tree children confirmed, unsurprisingly, that yes they did.
'When people are taking short cuts and when some people are blocking the way,' one reported.
' beeps all the way to nursery and all the way home,' another giggled.
The campaign just goes to show that children are not just staring out the window. They see it all - the good, the bad, and everything in between.
The European-wide survey found that on the flip-side, children were most annoyed by their parents singing at the wheel, shouting at other drivers and picking their noses.
When asked what their experiences were on long journeys, the results were mixed.
One boy sung the praises of Bob the Builder, his favourite in-car entertainment.
Meanwhile a rather forlorn-looking girl replied: 'I just sit on my car seat with no one sitting next to me. I get all bored.'
But one set of parents clearly hit the jackpot, when their son proudly proclaimed: 'My daddy's car and my mummy's car is not boring. When I've gone on holiday I had chocolate there.'
