A very good point and one I thought about myself but a car passenger can do little to influence the direction of a car unlike a pillion who might freak and lean the wrong way etc. sitting in a car takes little to no skill whereas to be a pillion requires quite a bit thus making it more risky and there for insurance is more for the higher risk. There are a lot of people I wouldn't take on my bike that i'd happily take as a passenger in my car... there are some people who are not welcome in that either though! haha
