A Spanish judge has got himself into hot water after he said a driving school was within its rights to charge female learners more than their male counterparts. …

Back in 2011, Autoescuela Zaragoza advertised a deal where, for €665 ($900), prospective male drivers aged 18 to 22 could get as many classes as they needed to obtain their driving license.

The price for female learners was €850 ($1,155). …

I see nothing wrong with this. If it’s a private business they should be able to chareg whatever they want for any reason (or no reason) at all.

I’d be thrilled if the the local Somali women would be refused a license. Period.

Has any woman ever won a Formula One World Championship race?

I rest my case.

And yes, I know that Desiree Wilson won an AFX F1 race in the late ‘70s, but that doesn’t count toward the World Championship.

I have similar opinions regarding Asian women (and men) in this area. If I had a dollar for every car I passed on the freeways in this area going 15mph under the limit with a white-knuckled Asian behind the wheel, I could retire.

as this has turned largely into a lamentation concerning, mostly, Chinese Female drivers...

there should be NO COMPLAINTS about racism or sexism...

since this is a simple fact that our good Chinese friends realize, and openly acknowledge, themselves:

Haven't checked recently, so things could have changed. But it used to be that insurance companies charged less for women than men drivers because men had more accidents.

Maybe things are different in Spain, or the accident statistics may have changed.

The bums and homeless don’t have to observe the rules of political correctness: “Chinese driver!” said one to me while we watched a woman trying to make a U-turn in her Volvo on a one way dead end street.

So religious mores play no role here? Interesting.
