Inquiry urged amid fears people of colour pay more for car insurance

  1. > Using a mystery shopping exercise, it also said that in postcodes where more than 50% of the population were from ethnic minority backgrounds, there was a penalty of at least £280 a year.

    So just like everyone else.

    Shit areas always cost more. Bradford for example costs more because of all the cunts driving around with no insurance / car crime / accident rates.

  2. Like everything, it has very little to do with race and everything to do with class. But the media like to present the race idea as the main one.

  3. Remember when there was a big fuss about making women pay more for insurance? Because men were paying loads and women were paying pennies? Remember when they said they’d change that?

    Yeah, still cheaper to list yourself as a woman. They can’t tell you otherwise in 2022.

  4. Did the mystery shopper actually get quotes where the only variable was race, or did they just see that unsurprisingly areas in cities with high crime and no off street parking are more expensive than leafy suburbs with garages?

  5. What are the chances … LOL … if housing and insurance and vehicles in the US have a “bit of a race problem” in the US, I can bet donuts to dollar it is just as rampant in UK. Not like we are not related to our histories and what accounts for republicans in both arenas.

  6. Live in a shit area that has more crime, get hit with higher fees for insurance….i mean yeah?

    Thats how it tends to work.
