If you were to charge racial group A higher than B for higher accident rates, wouldn’t that be shot down for racial discrimination?

Age can be reasoned through driving experience. It’s reasonable to charge a 16 year old more

Race cannot

Stop being such a bad driver and your rates will go down.

Driving experience is discrimination they can get away with

That’s why most insurance companies care more about what age you were licensed over you actual age

Credit scores are factored in rates most of the time........

No you don’t. You are a failure and your parents failed you by reinforcing your mediocrity.

Do you also get pissy when a senior citizen gets a discount on breakfast at a diner? #agediscrimination #crymeariver

Same as charging older people more for life or health insurance.

Nobody is saying that it’s not discrimination, just that it legal. I don’t have a problem with it, because insurance is in the business of making money.

All insurance is is a legal form of discrimination based 100% upon statistics.

No, it's called an actuarial table. It's how insurance companies stay solvent, by determining risk and assigning appropriate premium to cover that risk.

Drivers, males in particular, under the age of 25, have more accidents and moving violations than any other gender/age group.
