Can a man lower his car insurance premiums by saying he’s a woman? If not why not?

Quite the cash saving if you can…

Discernment is an important skill in life, try it.

I avoid reading rightwing bullshit that is behind a paywall, yes.

Sorry I don't read the torygraph

"I avoid reading things I might disagree with" is not quite the killer rebuttal it might have sounded in your head.

In any case, here's a Le Monde article for you instead that I trust you can stand to have in your otherwise entirely pure browser history.

No, because they stopped gender based reductions years ago

I stand corrected. I even worked for the big UK one for years.

playfully I could always identify as a different age (no I can’t)

You would think if you wanted to post something transphobic you would at least check the facts first.

Women don’t have cocks. How about that?

Especially as there are far better actual events that show men are doing similar in order to benefit themselves, for example:

Spanish soldiers change gender to gain benefits intended for women

Self-ID law was introduced at same time as benefits were boosted to make careers in military and security forces more attractive to women

Insurance companies can no longer take sex into account, but women still pay much less on average - even more so than before. This is because insurers instead use risk indicators like occupation, type of car, address, and claims history - and men are much more likely to be in the riskier category on all of these.

So there would be no advantage to a man pretending to be a woman, but moving to Northern Ireland, changing jobs to be a nursery teacher, and buying a Fiat Panda would be a big money saver.

Women don't get reduced car premiums any more. I'm sure if they could then trans identified men would absolutely try to get reduced car premiums.
