Spain judge: driving schools can charge women learners more

A Spanish judge has risked the ire of women everywhere after ruling that a driving school was within its rights to charge female learners more because it was proven that “men were better drivers”.
(...)
The judge agreed, overturned the fine and ruled that a different price for courses offered to male and female learners wasn’t discriminatory.

In his ruling he cited official data from Spain’s Directorate of Traffic that proved “every single year, men displayed greater dexterity and better open road skills” in their driving tests than their female counterparts.

Therefore it was perfectly acceptable within the law to offer men a discount because on average they need fewer lessons.
