Boy racers lead to cheap car insurance for young women
UK chav car culture among men - the 'boy racer' phenomenon - is helping young women enjoy cheaper car insurance than their male counterparts, research has revealed.
It is a fact that men are convicted of more driving offences than women - 2.3 million compared to 920,000 were reported last year.
Combine this with other recent findings that young drivers admit to overtaking on blind bends, using mobile telephones behind the wheel, and drive after taking drugs - then finding cheaper car insurance can be a major challenge for the young male driver.
And it is also true that some men's desire for the loudest cars in the neighbourhood - with deafening sound systems - means their vehicles can be targets for thieves.
A spokesperson at Hoot, online car insurance specialist, said, "Some good advice for male students and young drivers is to work on building their no claims bonuses by staying safe and legal on Britain's roads and try to keep car extras to a minimum.
"We understand these and other car insurance issues facing both young men and women drivers - it's worth calling us for cheap car insurance quotes."
