    That reminds me I need to get a new ECU mapping for my engine so that I can get a few more hp out of it so that I can go even faster!

    What is "sexual discrimination" Ted, is it the same thing as gender discrimination, or is it where insurance companies discriminate against you if you have sex or what is it Ted?

    $303 a month for a 24 year old driver who I assume has a full licence??? Wow, and I thought we were being screwed in Ireland. He's got a point about "statistical significance" bull**** though. I mean 90% of criminals are bread users after all.

    Is this supposed to be funny?

    Sexual discrimination is the legal term, 'gender discrimination' is the PC bullsh*t version.

    Clown.

    Aaaaanyway let's pretend that didn't happen - there was a draft EU directive on the matter back in 03 I think. The gist of it was that it was while it could be agreed that to charge a person more because they happened to be born a male (irrespective of their driving ability) was not acceptable, the impact of introducing unisex motor premiums would have a negative effect....the premiums for women would rise, premiums for men would fall....therefore more young males on road and more accidents....

    Has there been any progress with this policy though, does anyone know?
