Of course there is the Saudi way of solving this problem.  |
What if a black man is more likely than a white man to have an accident? Can we charge him more? what about charging a white woman more than an asian woman?
I think there would be an outcry if we did this and I really dont see the difference between descriminating over race, gender or social standing.
Equality cuts both ways.
Typical that the insurance companies will react to this by just increasing everyones premiums but i would argue that I have paid the higher premiums since i could drive so they still wont be paying as much as i have.
