yeah, because supercharging a FWD car makes so much sense.

but hey, who needs tires? or the extra power you would get with a turbo because its more efficient. or the better gas milage.

When you say "more" cautious you mean... putting on makeup at red lights and texting while driving? Is that what you mean?

My friends' 2-door Honda Civic EX (or whatever the crappiest model is) is considered a sports car by his insurance.

I laugh at him a lot.

Women ARE the worse drivers, with more accidents, but we still pay more. You also pay more if your car even resembles the colour red, has 2 doors instead of 4, etc. Just stupid.

While the rolls have reversed in overall accidents, Men are still 3x more likely to be involved in an accident that results in death (for themselves or for another) which is why the rates are still higher for men. Also, the disparity is virtually nil between male and female drivers in total accidents:

Johns Hopkins University Study wrote: Although men are three times more likely than women to be killed in car crashes, researchers at the Johns Hopkins Schools of Medicine and Public Health have found that, when the total numbers of crashes are considered, female drivers are involved in slightly more crashes than men. Overall, men were involved in 5.1 crashes per million miles driven compared to 5.7 crashes for women, despite the fact that on average they drove 74 percent more miles per year than did women. The investigators, who published their results in the July issue of Epidemiology, found that although teenage boys started off badly, with about 20 percent more crashes per mile driven than teenage girls, males and females between ages 20 and 35 were equally at risk of being involved in a crash, and after age 35 female drivers were at greater risk of a crash than their male counterparts.

So, in short, the research says that men are more likely to kill behind the wheel, teens have worse driving records with male teens being far worse than female teens, and that only when over the age of 35 does the risk of female drivers having more accidents become a reality. What's more expensive to pay out? The cost of a few fender-benders, or the cost of a total loss + medical + personal property + death benefit + any costs of the resulting civil suit and damages?

This is why women have lower rates.

Hahaha.
