SERIOUSLY!?!??!!
I was listening to the radio earlier, and an advert for this website popped up. I didn't believe it was actually true but it is. Another black-box hawker (well, offshoot of insurethebox) but their pitch is somewhat (obviously intentionally) sexist!

A telematics box fitted out of sight at no extra charge lets you prove you 'drive like a girl' and deserve to pay a lower premium.

The EU Gender Ruling means that most young women are now paying more for their car insurance.
We don’t think this is fair as we know young women are safer drivers than young men.
So we're giving you the chance to prove it.

Its available for guys though
"*‘Drive like a girl’ - even if you are a boy - and you will get a discount after the first 3 months and could save even more at renewal."
It is, but it's the "drive like a girl" bit, and the "we all know girls drive safer than boys" patronising boolax!"*‘Drive like a girl’ - even if you are a boy - and you will get a discount after the first 3 months and could save even more at renewal."
I never said anything about it not being available to both sexes...
k!? I might phone them tomorrow and see how sexist they are down the phone. tIt may be patronising, and that's how they are marketing it, because "boys have more accidents, why should I pay more"
Which is fair enough in my opinion, I really don't care.
To balance this, maybe there can be a kickthebucketearly.com to balance it out for better pension options for men........
(It'd never happen because that would be unfair.......funny how people are happy as long as they're on the side that's better off)
Either way I wouldn't want a black box telling people what I do in the car.
I do wonder however what happens if someone uses your car (with your permission) using DOC on their own policy?
(I am guessing if they drive like a cock you'd get shafted even though technically your insurer wouldn't be liable)

My stepmother drove out of the driveway and off to work today. Nothing weird there apart from the fact that she had a bowl of porridge on her lap and was eating it while maneuvering 
Shouldn't we all just complain about the website? Pretty sure Advertising Standards will help make this stupid company sweat like a cornered nun over this blatant sexism.
