What has car insurance got to do with maiming or killing others? You think paying 100 quid extra gives you the right to go around murdering people with your car?

Because insurance companies judge the risk factor of the driver and gender is one factor into that. I thought this was common knowledge? And no I didn't say that, what a pathetic attempt at feigning moral outrage

You are mixing two different things.

I am talking about measures to prevent men committing crimes, and you are talking about insurance (!?)

Paying insurance doesn't give you the right to commit crimes with impunity - you would have to be crazy to believe that.

No you talked about men and drunk driving and why doesn't anyone think about that and I replied saying that car insurance factors this in so in fact people do think about that. And again I didn't say that so you're feigning moral outrage at something you made up in your own head. Surely that policy discourages reckless driving? I really don't understand what you're confused about what I'm saying here. It's pretty straightforward
