Good News about Lady Car Insurance
If you’re a lady on the look out for cheaper car insurance, you’re in luck because ladies’ car insurance tends to be cheaper than men’s car insurance.
But the fairness of women paying less for car insurance has been challenged in the past on the basis of gender discrimination. In 2005, the European Union debated whether insurers could legitimately charge less for lady driver car insurance.
The good news is insurance companies demonstrated that cheaper car insurance for women is based on statistics and not discrimination against men. Government figures have shown that over 92% of convictions for driving offences in the UK are for men and men are found responsible for 98% of all convictions for dangerous driving (Source: Home Office – Offences relating to motor vehicles England and Wales 2003). So statistically, women are safer drivers making it fair to charge less for women’s car insurance.
