However you do it it will be flawed. many people pass a test than don't drive for years. But some people might drive five easy miles a week accident free, others might drive five hundred miles a week in difficult weather and complicated road layouts ..same amount of years.0 -

Exactly as they do now using the date you first obtained your license. I know it is flawed because people may not drive straight after passing, but most do. An alternative would be to use the number of years they have had car insurance for as the main or named driver.Procrastinator333 wrote: »How do you prove the number of years they have been driving for?0 -

If men are better at something then they will usually pass more of the exams to get into that area and get more work done so have something which can be measured to be promoted on. The complaint is about different treatment for the same work (except for the very hard-core lobbyists, but we can't really take them into account).
Ok, i dare say that many women pass all there written exams for jobs such as the police force, fireman, serving on the front line, jobs that involve hard physical labour etc etc etc
But they will never be able to do some jobs that men can do better, and the same goes for some jobs women can do better,0 -

It is not on your license. Do the dvla keep it and give access to insurance companies then?0 -
i think the ruling is fair and sensible. the current system penalises safe drivers who happen to be young males and rewards dangerous drivers who happen to be female and older based on nothing more than averages. well we are not 'averages' we are individuals. what will probably happen is that those who prove their inability to drive well with frequent accidents will pay an even bigger premium than they do now. insurance should be based on personal record not whether you belong to one gender or another. i speak as a woman and a feminist.Those who will not reason, are bigots, those who cannot, are fools, and those who dare not, are slaves. - Lord Byron0
