To be honest I didn't even know women got cheaper insurance than men.
I thought it was just young lads who got blasted with high premiums.

I seem to get mysteriously high insurance premiums, given that I have never crashed
people keep telling me it's because I'm under 30, but I'm fairly sure that is also bollocks.

My personal opinion is that the insurance companies just completely make it up on a case by case basis. I recall getting my first insurance and the cost ranged from £460 to about £1500. Fucking stupid.

My first insurance was £460 then the renewal (without any accidents, etc) was £1200

ouch
I need to find out how much it's going to cost to insure my van when I get it...

I feel like I want to use a price comparison website, but I cannot bear to use confused or compare the market as a protest about their advertising.

I used confused.com last year and was confused
comparethemarket was good, I'd recommend them

You either are under 30 or you aren't.
Why aren't you sure?

stop deliberately misconstruing

And lose 50% of my 'act'?

( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Tue 1 Mar 2011, 9:17, Reply)

only 50% to go then.
And then these boards will be free of your menace.
(dozers, do fuck off ur a nob m8, Tue 1 Mar 2011, 9:21, Reply)

it's about 50% less for women then men in the 17-22 age group and across the board it's lower to some degree
Look, it's difficult, because insurance is based on risk assessment, and young men are the most likely to crash. But, statistically, it might well be young uneducated men, right? so why can't I get 25% off for my PhD? Maybe in certain postcodes it's statistically Asian drivers that have more accidents, so how about another 10% for being white? People would go mental if insurance discriminated on intelligence, eduation and ethnicity but somehow sex is OK? Never got that.

If it's men that are being discriminated against it's FINE.
I am more than a little bitter on this subject.
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Tue 1 Mar 2011, 9:17, Reply)

I couldn't agree more
'Positive discrimination' bullshit.

Yeah - especially white middle class males who are the real minority in modern Britain!

Haha!
Fuck the Daily Mail, I'm against all forms of discrimination.

Well said brother.

The sex shouldn't matter! GAH!
You should have said "Well said, fellow human", but then that discriminates against Scientologists. Which I'm alright with.
( Labia Majora You keep on talking but it makes no sense at all, Tue 1 Mar 2011, 9:43, Reply)

No - all types must be acknowledged.
It is fascist to deny the existence of other forms of sexuality.
Scientologists - well they should be rounded up and gassed.

I passed my test first time aged 26
I even got the Pass Plus under my belt, but if I'd been packing a vagina instead then I would have saved about 50%. As Vipros said, my initial quotes varied from £800 to £2k a year, on a car worth £3k that was parked in a garage over night in a nice quiet town.
Utter gouging cunts.

It's not about your car though, it's about the other persons.
If you crashed it into a buggetti or a nuclear truck or something, it'll be alright.
