Black Day For Female Insurance
« on: 21 December 2012, 13:48:09 »

The World has not ended today, but it is a black day for female motor insurance.

As of today it is illegal for insurance companies to give us different rates from those applied to male drivers.  It will mean an average increase across the board of 30%, but for some young woman drivers it will be up to 40%!!

It is an absolute nonsense, and it means thanks to EU intervention the insurance companies cannot fairly take into account that women have far less accidents.  >:( >:(

You ladies are the ones who started the push for "equality" ... it doesn't always pay ... :)

Same thing has happened to your pension dates .....

Next it will be no discrimination on age.

Then we will all have to pay the same as an 18 year old. >:(

I think that, in a few years, this change will make perfect sense. I am starting to notice a new breed of young women drivers, far more aggressive and loud. They mostly drive old Peugeots with pink steering wheel covers  ;D

Yep, I'll give you that one as I've scored the most severe damage to vehicles in our household, but then again I drive the most so statistically I'm bound to 'connect' more than my wife.  ;D ;D
She just comes home and says "I've kerbed the alloys trying to get around some woman with a trolley in Waitrose car park", and when I look annoyed she asked what I'd have done, to which I reply "I'd have run the old *** over".  ;) ;) ;D ;D
Only kidding.......................about running her over.  ;D :y

My wife crashed into some guy on her way home from work the other night. She told the police that he was drinking and on his mobile phone. The policeman said he could do whatever he liked in his own conservatory.
