Probably because women tend to take more coverage than men for the same car.

Without the statistics of how many are single men and single women, this is worthless.

There are many demographics which include more irresponsible single women.

Do the single women's coverage include coverage for children, for example?

Of course they do. Don’t you remember that classic song about women drivers in Florida?

Bu cops let them off on more tickets so it evens out.

maybe because men aren’t painting our faces while we’re driving...

It’s due to all that farding while driving.

Whose auto insurance has coverage for children?

And the article states, as long has been documented, that women have safer records.

I don’t imagine women drive more miles than men, but I do wonder whether this is controlled for age. In FL especially, lots of old folks who skew very much toward the female.

Otherwise, I’d go back to the wildly different quotes that companies offer—and whether men do more shopping around or have more college, union or employer discounts, etc.

Most studies I’ve seen say the opposite

Not stereotyping. But when I see a bad driver it is usually in this order:

Chinese Women
Black Women
White Women

Just a fact.
