In the long run everyone's insurance premiums go up. They wont reduce male drivers premiums because they "can't" so they will increase female ones.

This ruling is terrible, I have been benefiting from having my girlfriend on my insurance for 10 years.

Why "can't" they? .. Happy to be proven wrong: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2298570

That is why I put it in quotes. They "can but wont" which translates to "We can't because insurance for men costs more because of the statistics". Given that rule of thumb they will increase females premiums.

Not only have I worked for insurance companies, but if I was one, this is exactly what I would do if I was told everyone had to be treated equally.
