especially as the stats are bollocks
Every girl I know has crashed at least once in their life, mainly because they don't see cars as important and, as such, treat them like shit including using the bumper as an indication of when to apply the brakes when parking. Young "Girl Power" types are as eager to speed as young men, so why are they given preferential rates? Easy, because more young men are in jobs where they drive long hours on motorways (white van men, reps, etc) - when they crash, they crash BIG. Hence it costs more to fix.
The ditzy receptionsit whose Corsa has no single panel undented doesn't write the car off, despite having lots of little "bumps", so the insurers can load the stats to the more profitable end. Same goes wil SAGA insurance - old farts tend to potter round town at 20mph. They'll take your wing mirror off, but they are unlikely to fall asleep at the wheel after an 80-hour week and write off the car on the M25.
Again, who's the immoral shit - the ad man trying to put a jingle on the message, or the money-grabbing fucker skewing logic to ensure they can tighten the grip on your wallet?

At least understand your fucking buisiness, man.
Women, on average, have a lot of minor crashes -- the kind which can be repaired by a few quid for a paint job. Men, on the other hand, have less crashes but, in total, they cost more.
Bumping a few dozen cars in the car park is neither more costly nor more harmful than misjudging a corner and killing three people (as an extreme example).
Make your fucking mind up: do you want to make money from the business or are you just in it to be a cunt?
