Elderly women are considered more dangerous behind the wheel than young men, according to insurance figures. Female drivers face paying more than double for car insurance after retirement, according to AA Insurance in Britain. They also pay more than men aged just 25 - traditionally considered one of the highest risk groups.

Experts say it is unclear why women's driving worsens at a faster rate, although men are also more likely to make an insurance claim the older they get. One theory is that women are returning to driving after possibly decades of relying on their husbands for the majority of car journeys.
