If you're fat, smoke like a chimney, drink like a fish, sit around watching Oprah and eating 3000 calories a day you SHOULD pay more for insurance.
Similarly, if you're driving like you're on the autobahn while drunk off your butt at 3AM every night you should pay more too.
Similarly, if you have a car that you use only on weekends to go to church and the grocery store then you should pay less.
C'mon here. It's common sense. This is just another way to determine actual risk.
Oh sure, we COULD just ask our customers if they're morons but they're going to lie. I've written a policy for a truck that I saw in my parking lot with a business name stenciled on the doors and more tools and ladders than I'd ever seen. The guy told me it was just his weekend car and I almost laughed in his face.
