Well, it just goes to show then, doesn’t it. They’re NOT much different to blokes when the fancy takes them!
This Press Association story – which will probably be fleshed out and exaggerated once the Daily Mail et al get a hold of it – says that ONE THIRD (35%) of young female drivers would consider driving uninsured if their premiums go up.
A further 12% said they’d have to give up driving, and 11% said they’d have to get a second job to pay for it.
So. Just like the lads, really.
Apparently, 34% of men think the new rule is “unfair”. Just for the record, that means 66% DON’T think it’s unfair.
John McDonagh of Quinn-direct demonstrates the perfect example of a circular argument when he says:
It is evident from the research that motorists are not happy with the proposed changes… clearly feel that the measures pose no benefit whatsoever to motorists.
and follows it up with:
It is shocking that many young drivers would consider driving without insurance…
Maybe he should consider that those who are prepared to drive uninsured really aren’t the safe drivers companies like his have previously favoured.
Or, I wonder if he is thinking of how much revenue his company will lose if suddenly around 50% of his clients (34% + 12% from the above survey results) suddenly don’t buy insurance?
