Probably sexist and horrifically un-PC, but...
Whenever I have occasion to drive to work (I usually cycle, and I'm fucking smug about it, so there), my journey takes me down a single lane that splits into two about four car lengths before some traffic lights. The vast majority of cars stay in the left lane, but I need to turn right so take the right lane, which is usually empty. Most of the time I'm blocked from getting into that nice empty stretch of road by a car in the left hand lane [Warning - I'm about to make my point]. If the driver is male, three-quarters of the time he'll notice me behind him and move to give me room. If the driver is female, she'll almost never notice me.

I think it's all to do with cavemen finding things in fridges or something.
