Controversy has been garnered by driving schools in Zaragoza after charging female pupils more than their male counterparts.
18 schools charged 665 euros for men and 850 euros for women between the ages of 18 and 22, according to Aragon Consumers Union.
Refuting this allegation, the schools have said that it is a fact that women need more lessons before they are ready to pass their test.
On these same lines, Carlos Bricio, president of the Zaragoza Driving Schools Association, argued that while women need 50 per cent more tuition than men, they are only charging them 30 per cent more.
However, these statements have been refuted by the National Confederation of Driving Schools which described the differential as ‘something straight out of the last century.’
