There may be a good reason why female car insurance tends to be cheaper than that offered to men, it has been suggested.

According to Gem Motoring, women drivers are safer behind the wheel than their male counterparts.

The group backed up its claim with statistics from the World Health Organisation that show men are three times more likely to die when driving than female road users.

It acknowledged that male motorists generally possess more impressive car control, but pointed out women tend to have better self control.

Gem Motoring added the latter quality is vital when it comes to staying safe behind the wheel.

Chief executive David Williams explained women may have more low-speed accidents than men but these rarely cause serious injury.

"Male crashes, on the other hand, are more often linked to risk taking and breaking laws," he claimed.

As a result, women may find it easier to secure cheap car insurance.
