Report explains woman car insurance savings
A report into learner drivers by BSM may explain why woman car insurance is so cheap for so many female drivers.
The research from the UK driving school reveals that ladies tend to be "more studious" than men when it comes to taking driving lessons; an attitude which it appears is applied to learning how to drive safely, and which earns them cheap car insurance premiums.
The study also showed that female drivers are more likely to spend extra time behind the wheel in between lessons, getting in vital extra hours of practice with an experienced driver in the passenger seat before taking their test.
All of this may make ladies better drivers in the long run (and drop the cost of woman car insurance), but it also means that whilst male drivers have more confidence when learning to drive, the girls may beat them to passing their test.
The same piece of research also considered the role of parents in teaching young people to drive. It showed that most instructors feel that whilst parents can help the learner to improve their skills more quickly than getting professional tuition alone, this could also result in them passing on bad habits.
A spokesperson for the BSM said: "A carefully balanced mix of professional training and private practice can obviously improve the chances of passing the test and create more safe and responsible young drivers.
"However, the most important thing is that learners are taught to learn to drive for life, not just to pass their test. This is clearly more challenging for those young people who are facing increased pressure to pass or those that are being taught bad habits by their parents."

Car insurance news 2005
*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).
