British women make better bikers than their male
counterparts, according to the discounts being offered on
motorcycle insurance.
In a recent study by the British Post Office found one in
seven women would consider swapping their car for a
motorcycle in order to cut costs, and experts from the
University of Huddersfield’s Motorcycle Consumer Research
Unit claim that the overall figure is almost 20 per cent,
and that the percentage is set to increase.
In light of these numbers and with the motorcycle season
about to peak in England, the Post Office has launched a new
motorcycle insurance policy, with discounts of up to 36 per
cent for female motorcyclists.
These discounts reflect the fact that women are involved in
far fewer motorcycle accidents than men, and University of
Huddersfield research shows that women are more interested
in pursuing advanced rider training than their male
counterparts.
