Anyone who says that women get a raw deal on auto insurance is a FU*KING MORON!!! I know women who have multiple vehicles mutiple accidents and tickets that are unmarried who are the same age as me who pay less than HALF of what I have to pay, that is whats unfair about insurance. If blacks had to pay twice as much as whites there would be a national uproar and a supreme court case.

True---

I remember when my wife and I were first married - She had an accident (her fault) and ticket on her recor. I had a clean driving record and was a year older.

Insurance for her was about 40% less than for me.

As far as the article sited in this thread - there is some major false information - Every insurance company I have ever dealt with has taken mileage driven one-way to work into consideration. Report 2 miles, it's a lower rate, report 15 miles, it's higher, report 45 miles, its even higher. I have yet to see an insurance company level rates after 20 or so thousand miles.

This policy is based on the law of averages, not actual reports. People who drive more miles to work every do are not statistically more likely to cause an accident, BUT.... The law of averages says that every minute spent on the road increases your chances of being involved in an accident. Being in an accident doesn't necessarily imply that it is your fault. If I were to spend 2 hours each day on the road, I am spending 1 hour and 55 minutes more in traffic than someone who drives 2 miles to work. That's 1 hour and 55 more minutes to find some idiot who cannot drive.....

My wife always complains about my driving, but she's the one that obliterated one side of her brother's rent-a-car in my driveway with my Land Rover (The Disco suffered only a cracked turn signal lens).
