Most accidents are caused by men drivers, Insurance is cheaper for a female.

Yeah I thought that too until I saw on our insurance policy my wife's car cost more to insure than mine. Same value cars, mine is a 90's V8 BMW with far more power than I need and hers is a 'normal' 02 Pug hatchback. Her car is judged safer than mine. I queried the company and they said:
"No, that's correct. Our research shows women her age have kids in the car causing major distraction which leads to more accidents."
"We don't have any kids"
"The form doesn't have a field for that."
Sigh.

saxman99, that's interesting, our policy covers both of us so don't know about individual, I know my wife drives slower than me and is probably safer, I take more risks.

Not necessarily. When I had my car insured it came through as my wife as the main driver when I called in to correct it the lady at AA said the premium would drop $15. She explained that women of "our age" tend to make more claims.
