Every female who ever got behind the wheel of a car has probably at one time or another heard at least one or two jokes (or derisive comments ) about women drivers. Ask you average male driver and he will probably tell you he is a better, safer driver than his wife/girlfriend/mother/sister. Problem is, the car insurance industry does not agree and women's car insurance is often cheaper than men's because the car insurers feel that it is women who are in fact, on the whole, the better drivers.
