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.
