The study found a gender divide in the number of penalty points, with drivers named Allison being the most likely women to have points for speeding. However, just 7.5 percent of Allisons having been punished for breaking the limit.
Those who were named Lara, however, were the most likely women to have points on their licences overall, with 10.8 percent having at least some endorsements.
Kevin Pratt, who is an insurance expert at MoneySuperMarket, said: ‘When it comes to driving, it seems points on licences are very much in a name. But licence points are there for a reason, to deter reckless motorists from misbehaving behind the wheel.
‘If you incur any points, you must declare them when buying or renewing your car insurance, which could lead to an increase in your premiums. Aside from the financial consequences, though, speeding and drink-driving are dangerous, and risk your safety and the welfare of other motorists.
‘Anyone with points on their licence should shop around for the best deal when their policy is up for renewal. Car insurance is based on risk, and different providers have different ways of setting their prices, so some might be more lenient than others, especially to win your business.’
