For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.I believe there was a test case brought before the European courts a couple of years ago with Diamond, a female only insurance firm being accused of illegal trading practices. The court found in Diamond's favour (if I recall correctly) because they were able to prove scientifically that women drivers have fewer accidents than men, and also claim significantly less in insurance. I too am surprised that the equality / equal opps people haven't made more of a fuss about this, but then I suppose car insurance firms discriminate on grounds of age and postcode too. I know that nightclubs are not allowed to run "Ladies Nights" any more - probably a good thing if you've ever been to one...
