I once thought that too, but while you can't actually _drive_ two cars at once, one can be destroyed by accident, theft, or conflagration while parked. So, part of the insurance is legit. Also, you're allowed to let someone borrow your car and they are then carried on your insurance when they drive. So, there is some legitimacy to the charges... but I agree, the discount should be much more. Bob
