A 24-year-old man from Alberta, Canada, changed his gender on his birth certificate and driver's license to save $1,100 on his car insurance 

He was quoted a rate of $4,517, given his driving record that included a crash and speeding tickets 

When he asked his broker what rate he would have gotten were he a woman, he was quoted $3,423 

Male drivers under age 25 normally pay higher insurance rates because they are statistically more likely to get into accidents

The Canadian got a letter from his doctor saying he wanted to identify himself as a woman and ended up getting the lower rate
