Women drivers see the appeal of motorcycles to beat rush hour traffic

A new survey by Bennetts car insurance shows that women are becoming more interested in motorbikes as an alternative to being stuck in the rush hour traffic. Two thirds of women asked would consider riding a motorbike to work if it meant they could get there quicker. Only 1.5 percent of those that took part said that motorbikes were just for men.

It is encouraging to see that the perception of motorcycling is changing and the old images of Hells Angels or that motor biking is a male dominated domain, are fading. Lots of women choose motorcycling as a hobby or as their main method of transport and there is no longer a stigma attached to this.

There are many car insurance companies that don ’t just do car insurance for women. If you are looking to get a motor insurance quote for a motorcycle then there are some great deals on the market. Choosing to become a biker chick could be the best move you’ve ever made.

*A replacement car can normally be arranged under one of the following conditions: (1) Comprehensive policyholders – a replacement car may be available under the terms of your insurance policy. Please check your policy details for more information. (2) Non fault accident – where we have the name, car registration number and insurance details of the person who caused the accident, we can supply a replacement car. This is done on a credit hire basis which means the costs for this service will be passed onto the insurance company of the person who caused the accident. We may not be able to arrange a replacement car where we are unable to get an admission of liability from their insurance company, or where the driver is untraceable or uninsured. (3) Repair garage – if your car is booked in for repairs following an accident, the repair garage may be able to provide a replacement car (subject to availability).
