Default Another Oyster question

You know how if you have pre-Pay on your Oyster, you are allowed to pass
it to a friend to use?

I have both pre-Pay and a bus pass on mine, and it occurred to me the
other day to wonder whether, if after I'd touched in to register my
pass, I touched in again, it would deduct the 70p fare for my companion.
I didn't quite like to try....

Similarly, if I go on the Tube and touch in, I presume I can't then pass
the card back to a companion for them to touch in (and similarly when
touching out the other end) and have two fares deducted from the card?

If it doesn't, I reckon they're missing an opportunity..... but it might
make for problematical programming.
