What the petition asks
in this day and age of equal rights its about time the insurance brokers start treating us as equals. just because I'm a man does not deem me as a high risk driver....That's discrimination!
Why it was rejected
It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.
Under EU law, insurers can't charge different premiums for men and women because of their gender. We're therefore not sure what further action you want the UK Government or Parliament to take.
