Home vs Motor Legal protection insurance

Something that's been bothering me for a while: If you're going to get legal protection insurance for home and motor, do you need to have both or does having one cover you for both?

    Motor Legal Protection that is usually purchased as an ''add on'' to a policy is specifically for problems relating to you & your vehicle ie.accidents, your 3rd party claims, recovering cost of a hire car.

    Legal Protection as an ''add on'' to a home insurance policy covers general stuff like neighbour disputes, claims against rogue traders, employment disputes & personal injury claims. Such a policy will most likely exclude motor claims & divorce proceedings/settlements.
