maxmaximus Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 This is the problem with equality and discrimination laws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obelix Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 If women want equality then they have to put up with all the consequences of it. If you want this rolling back, then you also should have no objection to different pay rates, men's only clubs, and being sacked for being pregnant.

britters337 Posted January 14, 2013 Author Share Posted January 14, 2013 But it is fact and statistics that women are safer drivers and have lower insurance claims so don't feel that it's relevant for it to be categorised as equality and discrimination. I am a safe driver and No claims bonus to show that and now going to be punished by an increase in car insurance for the pleasure. No wonder people drive uninsured!

So am I, i also have 3 cars insured all with no claims. So why should i potentially have to pay more than you do just because i'm a bloke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
britters337 Posted January 14, 2013 Author Share Posted January 14, 2013 Maybe no one should voice their opinions then, no matter how strongly we feel because a petition won't help! This petition is for people who feel the same as me, not criticism Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the face of equality, something get better while others get worse, its not all a one way street you know, or do you only want equality when its beneficial to you.

Some men have the same argument; why should a safe young male driver be penalised because other male driver are not safe drivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffrey Shaw Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 A petition isn't going to overturn a European high court ruling. But leaving the hated EU would enable the UK to do just that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
