[C153]Car Insurance For Women Drivers
by Henry Bell, Hen

Over the years several specialists' women car insurers have been established in the market and many other main stream insurance companies have launched specific products to cater to the needs of the women drivers.

Women drivers are involved in fewer claims than male drivers so insurers most often reward women with lower premiums. The whole idea behind economical car insurance for women is that women tend to be safe drivers.

Apart from that there is also a noticeable difference in choice of car between male and female drivers; women tend to go for more modest engine size. The obvious effect is that repair costs will considerably be lower and accident damage will be less than the cars driven by man. Women drivers are therefore a less risk to the insurance companies.

Safety is often an important consideration for women drivers and now most of the companies provide for the best possible support to the women drivers through women car insurance. Different types of facilities include break down cover, availability of 24 hour online phone service, 24 hour Accident Help line and even all day long Windscreen Helpline. So the services are only a phone call away from the women drivers if ever any causality takes place.

Companies provide different types of cover in women insurance. It is almost same as the covers given in other car insurance policies. They are third party only, third party fire and theft and comprehensive policy. Third party is a basic cover and it provides cover if you injure someone or damage their property in motoring accident. But if your vehicle is damaged, you have to pay it yourself. In Third Part Fire and Theft, the insurance companies provide for the costs if you damage other's property; it also provides cover if your vehicle is burnt or stolen. The comprehensive policy covers injury to someone else, damage to their vehicle, and damage to your vehicle from theft or fire and even accidental coverage.

Before buying any women insurance policy, you should carefully do a thorough study of all the quotes available in the market. Some companies provide more discounts than others. This should be carefully taken care of before purchasing any women car insurance policy for you.

Internet facilities are provided by almost all companies now. So it is much easier to shop for perfect women car insurance for yourself. All you need to do is to sit in front of your computer and browse through the pages of these insurance companies.


It seems that some fashions, although immensely popular with celebrities, fashion magazines and the general public, are not the most practical for female drivers. The latest craze for long fringes is putting people on the road in danger. Eye-skimming fringes, copied from celebrity styles, mean some female drivers are in danger of a disaster, a survey revealed.

The survey revealed that 67% of women have a hairstyle which could, potentially, fall into their eyes while they are driving a vehicle. In this poll, which was conducted of 1,000 female drivers, half admitted they did not tie back their hair before embarking on a journey. 33% did not think it was necessary to control their hair before driving and 8% said they did not want to ruin their hair.

Of the women surveyed 1% admitted that their hairstyle had caused an accident, near-miss or a sudden, unexpected manoeuvre due to their vision being temporarily impaired. The survey was conducted by women's car insurance company Sheila's Wheels, and also discovered three out of five women take their hands from the wheel to rearrange their hair or move it out of their eyes.

Sheila's Wheels' spokesperson, Jacky Brown commented: "Not many women think of their hair as a potential driving distraction. But with the latest trends requiring styling round the face and eyes, it's essential we are aware of safety."

According to the survey, women in Northern Ireland were the most fashion conscious, 80% regularly change their hairstyle to keep up with the latest trends. North-east England's women were least concerned about following fashion trends and south-west England's women drivers have the most practical driving haircuts.

Brown pointed out: "There are so many hair accessories available that can secure hair in place without compromising style. It's just about finding the right one for you and making sure it's handy whenever you step behind the wheel."

High profile hairdresser, Martyn Maxey commented on the study, he said: "For some celebrities, a change of hairstyle is headline news. Take Kate Moss and The Fringe for example - in recent weeks we've been inundated with requests for the long fringe and despite it falling over the eyes, it's now a fashion statement and people want it."

Maxey continued by giving tips for having beautiful hair and driving safely, he recommended keeping a hairband, headband or alice band in the car's glove compartment at all times. He said that for the extremely style conscious there are many different styles of hair slides available to clip long fringes or styles that may interfere with driving, back.

Other suggestions he makes are to leave a chunky velcro roller in a long fringe while driving to keep it out of your eyes, when you arrive at your destination your fringe will be perfectly styled, for the ultimate glamour, a pair of designer sunglasses propped on top of your head will keep all stray hairs out of your face.

Fashionable hairstyles are obviously not only going to be practical for driving, however it is easy enough for women to keep a range of hair accessories in their car to minimise risks of accidents due to something as silly as hair in the eyes.

So, is it worth risking accidents to stay stylish in the car? It seems that it is not only the risk of hair falling into the eyes and obstructing vision that is a problem, but also women removing both their attention from the road and their hands from the wheel to rearrange their hair.

It seems women should be more concerned about their safety , that of any passengers and others on the road, than they should be about the immaculate state of their appearance, namely their hair.
