B.b.c. Sound music radio pod casts b.b.c. Radio Lakisha listen on the b.b.c. Sounds starting at 6 it's me Graham live or a breakfast. Naden with you all morning all week then from one came to waste sharing your afternoon with her mission from Fall day was taking your time b.b.c. Radio Lancashire listen to your favorite radio shows live and on the go with the b.b.c. Sounds. Assholes it is amazingly though at this time of day I All's Well I I don't know you know I don't know whether people I think people should listen to you I don't whether should absolutely believe I have rethink I know what it is you can't get over this there is the fact that women are better drivers than that what you mean the fact that she has the family to use an opinion these well it's not an opinion all right it is a fact and that's the difference because this. Based on offenses moshing offenses a more men commit them which means that women must be the best strive he was going to would not the just coast men drive more so the route that I don't think so now in this day and age men and women drive a clues amount I think we need an expert with this is because you have to be an advanced rider I know that stick in your throat This isn't a deal but it was a really long have it all gets an x. X back on the way. And say tomorrow morning. endless love going to the chariot and save the complex watching. It ain't about what you'll expect yes your next but you've already prepared removed from your expert you drafted you know lady. What's wrong with them just as all of you she's a paypal are being experts mans Now this is what he's got his beef about this morning is official women all better drive that culture I'm going to show you fade if you don't stop it before you shout at the radio like ball is doing this is a fact now it's based on a study that looked at at drink drive cases insurance claims and speeding and guess what men a 4 times more likely to commit a motoring offense which makes them in my books worse drivers don't take my word for it though well Jerry don't screw Amanda Stratton is motoring editor at confused dot com and she joins me now really Amanda this is something we've just known all along isn't it well women have known it since time immemorial and now we've got stats. That go on that exist plainly there was a man. So we were looking at why Ben pay more for their insurance that women for an identical policy and this is despite the $20.00 to 2012 directive saying that gender can't come into account when insurers actually can't risk so what insurers have done is they've started calculating risk based on risk factors those being as you mentioned things like drink driving I think with no tax or insurance and how likely you are to make a claim do make a claim whether that's a false claim and whether that and how much that plane actually is if it's a very expensive claim or a reasonably minor and in every case on the straight men scored worse than women and that's why that explains why according to the data that we have all been policies for the identical policy will be more expensive for a man than a woman Plato you see he's quiet now well under weren't insurance weren't they to make sure that there wasn't a difference between the price girls pay in the process mn Perry use Are you saying that you've come across a problem actually achieving that is that what's behind this. Exactly so what's happened is because gender can't be taken into account on the face of it insurers have become far more savvy and actually calculate risk based on other risk factors now as you mentioned earlier in the So when do you do more miles that women in some cases although that is also balancing out a little bit more now so. It's not just the amount of miles you do it's the time of day that you're going to do those miles the type of drive you do what you're doing so it's a great you to drive you know the journey well or if it's. Often driving maybe like a delivery driver you're going to be taking a different day so insurers have become very very good calculated risk based on other factors not gender and punks those other factors come into the equation things like speeding offenses and claims and it all just stacks up to prove that men are a higher risk that women their. Premium You know what I don't know your brain the numbers there are a lot. It's true to say there is no I mean you know you think about the friends you've got I think it's probably true to say the labs maybe do some balance strive a bit too quick. Don't have the patience that women have as another factor Balts Yes if you don't do them at this girls do tend to have a lot more can a man in your school stop you scrape catching them when you know just you know is that is that fair remember. I don't feel that that's totally fair but I will actually just sort of how help the boys out to tell you. Because I mean listen it's a confusing issue because you know you're obviously only basing this looking at one set of data if you actually take into account people taking their driving tests and pass their driving test 1st time men actually do score fraction. Iraqi. Women This goes to is that men white men or women see Rick very differently and are. 'd less cautious yeah maybe slightly Oh yeah well yes that's where we come into things like tailgating and jumping red lights Yes totally. Not much more risk that women and that's why men tend to drift off the driving test of the women and or Paul's 1st thought but is it out Amanda this is just it took it is this money come back to thank you so much for joining me there you go you want to next but Paul and I got the next that it is not only really official the only thing it showed to give you something is that show that women took longer to get their license in the face by the Other than that we can count fewer offenses which means that we commit fewer offenses It means that we have to drive and. Yet unless of course you know differently I love to hear from you oh a 1758th grade. School a Cobra emergency committee will be held this afternoon to discuss the response to floods in northern England and the Midlands 38 flood warnings remain in place as well as 5 severe warnings on the river Don in South Yorkshire Jeremy Corbyn had a urged the prime minister to take personal charge of the situation after $400.00 homes were flooded and around $1200.00 were evacuated well in McDonnell from the r.s.a.
