Default Diamond Car Insurance

I don't understand how women can be offered cheaper car insurance based solely on the fact they're statistically safer...hear me out here.

if the situation was reversed and men were statistically safer, or claimed less insurance, whatever, there is no WAY we'd get our own insurance company. Same as if, for example, white people were proved to be statistically safer than black people...would there be an insurance company exclusively for white people? WOULD THERE!?!?

lets set one up.

I'm sure I read somewhere that the highest percentage of accidents happens when women are parking in car parks.. reversing and "straightening up".

I've had the same conversation with my dad about this on many occasions. I don't know how they get away with it. It's like you said, what if the advert was "Diamond car insurance was created just for white people..."

It's shocking. How about giving each prospective client an interview to guage what kind of driver and person they are and then give insurance quotes based on that. I admit, there are pros and cons to this.

for the record, although woman don't claim on insurance as much as men, this is only cause they're too busy causing other people (ie. men) to have accidents with their poor parking/reversing/driving skills.

the only insurance women should have is for accidents in the kitchen

I think a more pressing concern would be: With all the money Diamond are supposed to save by only insuring women, how come they can't afford to have adverts that don't just look like shit?
