According to the regs:
"At no time should a firearm be left stored unattended in a motor vehicle unless the firearms are stored in accordance with the requirements of category C, D & H firearms and no other alternative safe storage is available."
In other words:
A) If its left in the car then it has to be "temporarily incapable of being fired" (remove the bolt or fit a trigger lock) or must be "kept in a locked container that is properly secured to, or is within the vehicle".
B) The only other option would be to leave the other firearm at home or keep both firearms with you at all times.
