Women are better organised than men says DVLNI
A new survey for the Driver Vehicle Licensing Northern Ireland (DVLNI) has found that women are better organised than men.
The DVLNI survey asked if motorists were aware of new registration documents and how people look after such important papers.
Results confirm what women have always claimed: that they are better at filing important household papers and are more likely to take on the responsibility for this themselves rather than relying on their partner to do this for them.
Brendan Magee, Chief Executive of DVLNI, said: "The good news is that Northern Ireland motorists tend to be hoarders rather than binners - and the survey confirms the widely held view that women are better at organising and filing things than men.
"But the survey also shows that not everyone in Northern Ireland realises how important the new registration document is. One in five motorists can't recall having ever seen the document - even though DVLNI has sent new documents to all vehicle keepers who had a transaction carried out on their vehicle record over the past 18 months."
According to the survey conducted by Millward Brown Ulster, just over 3 in 10 motorists put important papers in a box or a drawer, but not in any particular order, while 9% keep documents such as the registration form in their car.
Women (81%) are generally more likely than men (69%) to keep vital documents in a filing system where they can find them quickly.
The new V5C registration document replaced the old green registration book in July 2005.
