A car insurance provider has opened up the age old debate of whether men or women are safer drivers by claiming that women are the safer drivers and therefore should enjoy cheaper car insurance.
Sheila's Wheels has argued that men are often in the more dangerous types of accidents while women are in different types of accidents that result in fewer fatalities.
Niki Bolton, spokesperson for Sheila's Wheels said: "Women are statistically safer drivers; they have very different types of accidents and claims. So you're more likely to have the closer to home, bumps and scrapes and lower value claims, rather than men who tend to have larger accidents on motorways."
She added that the key thing for students and any motorists is to shop around when they are renewing their car insurance and not just look for a good price but also a "quality product".
The company has claimed that women are becoming more "discerning" when choosing car insurance and they now want a good quality car insurance which is well priced for what it offers.
According to the home office between 1999 and 2003 97 per cent of all dangerous driving convictions were by men.
