Reply to: Car Insurance ruling re women drivers

[BlasterBates]

Over here you insure your car slightly differently. There's none of this occupation/sex/other driver/whatever malarky, you insure the car and the rate depends on the car (model, bhp, your mileage per year, where it is normally parked, etc.), your age, no claims and thats it. Therefore that means anyone can drive it if allowed

Are you sure?

How will this affect the premiums of all those Hermaphrodites out there?

They still keep their second driver discounts.

If you think they will cross you're bonkers, they will simply equalise the premiums at the higher price.

But then free market competition will find the right level. Maybe.

Assuming Insurance providers are keeping female premiums low because the risk is lower than men, and not because they feel nice towards women. I'l look forward to my premium coming down as the premiums for each gender cross somewhere in the middle of where they are now.

Great, time to ask for a rate rise seeing as I work at 2 insurance companies

Women have been moaning about discrimination in particular in the work place for years with enormous success. It is conveniently ignored that women and men are different, particularly with regards to having children being mostly more important on a woman's agenda than work. This is why women are paid less,why they tend to work in convenient jobs such as HR, and why they do not work as directors of boards of companies. yet they scream that they want it both ways-equal pay, equal opportunities, no discrimination at the prospect of them going off and having children.

Well now they have it both ways, they can have the same pay and they can pay the same as men for their f***ing insurance.

Generalist but in some cases valid, my concern with it is the simple fact that we all will end up paying more & the only winners are the insurance

No that´s ´groaning´, which is almost the same, but different.

No, that's a sign you need to do something about that gut.

You just need to learn how to make them happy.

Women have been moaning about nothing in particular with enormous success since the dawn of time.

But they can all have men doing them.
And any man with sense who say is a "Chef" is going to call himself a "Cook" if it gets him lower insurance premiums. This trick you can already legally utilise and I do

Edited to say: My current insurer doesn't actually care about that they just class you in a skills category i.e. manual, professional, semi-professional

Of course. But you're missing the point.

There will be a statisical weighting associated with jobs. Where they could be 50/50 then it wouldn't change, where there are more men (like computer programmer) then it would include the male weighting, where primary school teacher, then weighted towards women.

It will be inherent in jobs. Unless of course your unemployed.
