Woman car insurance holders show off in driving challenge

Lady drivers from Swindon have been showing off the superior driving skills that earned them cheap women car insurance premiums during a recent charity event at RAF Lyneham. The Prospect Hospice Ladies Driving Challenge saw over 100 women swapping their regular car for an HGV before negotiating a specially marked course around the airfield.

The vehicles on offer included articulated lorries, double-decker buses and tractors, but the ladies rose to the challenge ably, impressing the RAF squadron leader in charge.

"It has gone really well," he said, afterward. "There has been a lot of support from all the women who have taken part and are raising money for the hospice."

Located not far from Swindon, Wiltshire's Prospect Hospice is there to give support for patients and families who are affected by life-threatening illness. It provides this service free of charge, through funding from local hospitals and charity projects like the Ladies Driving Challenge.

"It's great to hear about women using their skills behind the wheel for more than just cheap car insurance rates, particularly if it benefits a charity as deserving as the Prospect Hospice," said a spokesperson for CoverGirl Car Insurance Services, the woman car insurance specialists.
