In a completely logical yet at the same time mad ruling the EU has dictated that you cannot price insurance based on the sex of the driver. So women, often the winners in equality legislation, are set to lose out.
The news yesterday had two teenage drivers who were brother and sister twins. The brother was quoted £3400, and the sister £1700. Both of these are unaffordable and ridiculous insurance pricing. Surely the better use of EU time rather than blanket rulings like this would be to make the insurance companies offer better pricing for better behaviour (no late night driving, no modified cars). The question of sex discrimination would then never come into the equation.
