He can often anticipate a higher insurance premium than the premium of sedan car’s insurance, owned by a 50 year old man. They both are very good driver.

Ex.2
This same method is used to calculate for medical insurance premium. Generally a smoker is not so healthy than a non-smoker. So a non-smoker can live healthier live. Therefore the Health Insurance Premium of smoker person is higher than the non-smoking person. A man working at a construction site and a man working as computer operator in an office, they both want to buy a Life Insurance. But they both have to pay different amount as Life Insurance Premium because the man, who is working on a construction has more probably to meet with an accident than the Computer operator. If the Policy holder can change the type of his or her working and change habits, the insurance company may be reduce or upgrade in their Insurance Premium.
