It's a bizarre ruling, the insurers base their premiums on perceived risk and girls and women don't generally drive like twats. It'd be interesting to see the stats for the numerous multiple fatalities that sadly occur amongst cars full of teenagers, just to see how many of these vehicles were driven by girls - very few I'd expect.
Given the choice of accepting a lift from a teenager, would you feel safer getting in the car with a girl or some pimply eejit with spiky hair who thinks he's the next Lewis Hamilton in his Saxo? Bit of a no-brainer really, and it's sad to see yet another nail in the coffin of common sense... >
