To discriminate by gender is pretty ridiculous though, why not charge less for colour of hairs that have less claims?

About time people were kind to gingers!!!!

Why not? i doubt there would be a trend in the way of certain hair colored people crashing more though :mrgreen:

Another worrying aspect of motor insurance today is that apparently 1 in 10 vehicles in London are without insurance. Additionally the number of fraudulent claims is mind boggling.

The good citizen who pays his premiums is funding damaged caused by genuine incidents but also the scams and damage caused by the uninsured.The whole thing is a mess.

Many are asked to pay premiums in excess of the value of their vehicle. They then choose to drive/ride uninsured as the fine for not being insured is only 200 pounds? it doesn't make sense.

Dont worry mate this will all be sorted when it becomes an offence to have your vehicle taxed when not insured.

I would go as far as saying 110% of drivers in Bradistan are uninsured when driving. I now live in bradford and if i was to be crashed into i would be amazed if i found out that they did have insurance! I am being serious.

I moved from Pudsey to Bradford 2 weeks ago and my insurance trebled even though i only moved about half a mile from my old house. Its basically like being in Iraq living in bradford. TBH i want to drive a Toyota pick up, wear my mums bath towel on my head, get the shoe polish out and carry a rocket launcher so i feel a little bit safer but i have been told that this is politically incorrect.

its entirely up to the insurance company's what they charge individuals.

just because there has been a ruling passed that says we can no longer have gender based insurance groups doest mean that they will hike the price up. if an insurance company want to charge an individual a lower premium no matter what their gender then thats entirely up to them.

Do you think it will happen though, I'd love to believe that some insurers would think lower prices equal more business and more profit but mmmmm, I don't know, seems too good to be true....time will tell, I just hope you're right

Political correctness only applies in white middle class areas.

Crack on, you'll fit right in.
