No, the automobile insurance rates are higher for men than they are for women because males statistically are a greater safety risk than females. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration figures show that male drivers were involved in more than 9,000 fatal crashes in 2008 compared to less than 1,700 for women. Overall, the data shows that men have more of a tendency to drive while under the influence, are more aggressive and tend to speed more than women.
Do men and women pay the same rates for their automobile insurance?
