Bad News for Women Drivers ...
 
there was a test case in the courts .. about women drivers paying less for their car insurance ... under the equality laws ...

BBC News - Insurance premiums to change after ECJ gender ruling

and guess what .. they've said its illegal and now women drivers will now have to pay more because of fellas with their accidents ... but also it will affect the pension annuity as well .. fellas used to get more for their money as they didnt live as long ... well its now going to be brought into line with women ....

Good.

No more Sheila's Wheels adverts.

Sexual discrimination is wrong.

Even if it's all pink and fluffy, and given an annoying jingle.

Exactly what I've always said about positive discrimination, it generates ill-feeling and resentment. The problems come when you try and redress the balance in the name of equality and create a bigger mess than if everyone had just been left alone in the first place.

Equality can't be selective, we either want it or we don't.

Don't give up hope.

There are people still fighting, in the hope that one day, you too may be equal to others.

:D

the downside to this for men is that it used to knock a few quid off your policy if you stuck a womans details on your policy.Used to bring mine down by over £100

i notice how they are increasing the womens policy fees and not bringing mens down to the level of womens eh

its the same as how they want to increase supermarket prices for beer to help pubs instead of bringing pub prices for beer down

yup infact i bet they jumped with joy at this ruleing after relising they no longer had to give discounts for women.

i do agree it was all wrong with sheilas wheels and like others have said if they had done the same for men instead there would have been uproar about discrimination

Sexual Equality = will only be when men can get pregnant and give birth au naturel way an all !!

Until then no such thing, tho it's Xmas for insurers and find many may have to re evaluate affording to drive, that seals my fate then. Why can't insurers bring all costs down.
