This is a good one.
I'm sure no one here has any problem whatsoever with men and women having equal rights. I'm also sure no one here can dispute that women make less car insurance clams than men (let's not start a debate on women drivers, lets look at the facts and figures here). Thirdly, I'm sure every one agrees than discriminating against someone because of their gender is wrong. With me so far?
Then why do women get cheap car insurance simply because they are women? Now I have no problem with a lower risk group of people paying lower premiums - in fact I'm very pro this - however, the above three statements cannot all be satisfied if women get lower premiums for being women.
The EU have had little to do recently so thought they would address this issue - see the story here.
So, what's going to happen do you think? Men's premiums coming down or women's premiums going up? Well, we already know what's going to happen!
Thank you EU!
