It's long been a stereotype that women drivers will flirt and chat up police officers and traffic officials if it means they could get away with a road conviction. Anything from battering eyelashes to the downright obscene has been witnessed by male officials when trying to take down details or hand out a fine to women on the road. However did you know, that if it can be proven that you did try to manipulate an official to escape punishment, you can invalidate your car insurance policy? Due to the trick being a favoured one insurance companies are trying to deter female motorists from doing so because they are being insured as a much lesser risk driver than they actually are. According to a report that has been compiled by YouGov Research it is largely the younger generations that try this technique of avoiding trouble. The report questioned 2,181 women in total and it revealed that out of those who had not used the method to avoid punishment, twenty five per cent would do if they where challenged by the police or a traffic warden. The largest amount of those who openly admitted to using the method where in London, where there seemed to be no shame in using female charm to woo the authorities out of reporting them for anything from speeding to dangerous driving. Although the insurance companies are threatening to make insurance policies a void if it can be proven a woman has tried to use this scheme, many critics are saying they doubt it's going to have an effect due to it being so hard to actually do so. While most police cars have cameras inside and facing the road, there is no way of recording what is said inside the motorists car or outside. Traffic wardens and other officials rarely even have that, so it will be very difficult to prove that a woman has tried the "feminine technique".
