The importance of finding competitively priced womens car insurance was underlined this week with the release of a study which showed that the average motorist pays an average of £283 in motoring fines every 50 years.
However, women's car insurance customers are not as badly hit as their male counterparts; woman drivers pay an average of £210 in fines compared to the male average of £344.
However, it is both men and women living in London who are hit the hardest. London drivers pay an average of £644 in fines over each half-century, making the capital the most expensive place to drive by some distance.
Mike Pickard, head of risk and underwriting with a UK car insurance company commented, "Owning and running a car in the UK can be very costly, particularly with rising fuel costs, and avoidable charges for driving offences only make this more expensive.
And he also had some useful advice for womens car insurance policyholders, "Offences such as speeding and using a mobile phone while driving not only add points to a motorist's driving licence but are deemed offences for a reason. They are actions that put drivers and other road-users at risk."
