Just because my group have more accidents statistically, doesn’t mean I should be punished because there is no evidence that I must be a worse driver just because I am male.
Why is it countries like the Netherlands make laws against unfair and sexist insurance such as this but the uk does not?

Insurance is about risk assessment and pricing accordingly. Nothing to do with being sexist. By the way I am male.
If statistics show women have less accidents then they can be deemed to be less of a risk claiming thus they get cheaper insurance...
Women do silly things in cars but men do silly things too. Like showing off when with his latest bird. like being distracted by good looking chicks while driving. Think about it men are more reckless and mind wondering than women in general which probably accounts for the statistics...
Now if you said to me women had not got a better accident statistical record then yes the insurance companies would be being sexist in offering women cheaper car insurance.
