At the moment young women are receiving lower insurance quotes than young men. Statistics have shown insurers that young men are more prone to have accidents than young women. Therefore insurance companies have given quotes reflecting this research.The European Court of Justice has announced that they will make the decision on the 1st of March as to whether this should be legal. They are arguing that any kind of discrimination is not tolerated including sexist behaviour.
I agree that sexist behaviour is wrong but I am struggling to accept that women should pay the same when young men are 10 times more likely to make the claims. Perhaps drivers should have to prove themselves to get a reduced rate as the safer male drivers are being penalised because of their gender.
A used and new cars Sussex dealership commented that female drivers should try to combat expensive insurance premiums by looking at cars with a low insurance rating. Their Kia dealer in Sussex will be able to advise male and female drivers about cost effective cars when thinking about insurance. I suggest that if you are a young driver like myself and you ae looking for a new car, check the insurance ratings before you make a decision.
