Are the insurance companies making money hand over fist? absolutely, but anything that they can do to weed out the scammers and charge less to us honest policy holders is a good thing in my book.

PNG is correct on the "the insurance follows the car, not the insured". A good example of this is if you valet your car and the attendant damages the car, it's still covered, even though you weren't driving it.

Now if you tell your carrier that your new wife/girlfriend whom you live with NEVER drives your car, then don't list her. But if she has an accident and the company can prove that she's a frequent driver of the cars on your policy, then they can deny the claim and you're SOL.
