I suppose that premiums are based on accident statistics........so I presume women drivers make fewer claims..........Hmmm...hard to believe when you see how they drive though. :y :y

nothing to do with insurance but..

the other day i pulled in to let a long queue of traffic pass (school run time, only room for one row of traffic due to parked cars) and i noticed out of about 20 cars, the only drivers who waved or nodded a 'thanks' were the men!  all the women just drove on...

 ;D

Statistics prove that women drivers have fewer accidents than men. Then again, there are fewer women drivers, so.............

Woman do have accidents, yes, but usually very minor ones like in car parks and at roundabouts, knocking the bumper off the car in front at a roundabout which I have done three times now in 37 years of driving....in all cases it was a man hestitating in front of me and not putting his ruddy foot down!! ::) ::) ::) :D ;)

Men have accidents as well, yes, but statistically they are the ones who usually have seriously big ones and cost the insurance companies the most, like demolshing the back end of my Cortina Estate when I was stationery.  Their perfectly natural aggression is also a factor in taking more risks at higher speeds! In addition men tend to undertake far more yearly mileage than women, so are therefore a greater risk. :-X :-X

That is why women's insurance is cheaper, because on the rare occassion we do have accidents, they are usually very minor, and overall we are more careful and considerate drivers. :y :y
