On Senna and Ferrari World?

Ever since I arrived back from Abu Dhabi, a week ago, I have been flat out writing and it is only now that I have finally had some free time when there was not something else to be done. It is really a very pleasant feeling. I can think of a million things that need [...]

UK drivers favor an end to lower insurance premiums for women

Filed under: , ,

According to a study done by InsWeb earlier this year, car insurance premiums for women in the U.S. are nine percent lower than those for men. Things are much the same in the UK, where insurance companies will offer the fairer sex lower rates than those given to men. Companies like Sheila's Wheels in the UK - founded by a man - specialize in lower-priced offerings for women, including handbag insurance.

The practice could be ruled illegal by the European Union, however, because the Advocate General of the European Court of Justice feels that such rate setting contravenes the Charter of Fundamental Rights laid out in the Lisbon Treaty. That would be fine with folks in the UK, according to a Motorpoint poll: more than nine out of ten of the 990 respondents to Motorpoint's survey were in favor of the EU eliminating discounts for women based on gender.

Not that there aren't plenty of other reasons for women to have lower rates: stats show they drive fewer miles and get in fewer accidents. But hey, fair's fair.
