Civil

Insurance — auto insurance — drive other car exclusions

This appeal concerns a dispute over automobile liability insurance coverage, and, in particular, a dispute concerning the application of the policy’s “drive other car” exclusion. The circuit court granted summary judgment in favor of the insurer on the ground that this exclusion applied and therefore the policy did not cover liability for the insureds’ son, who was driving an automobile not identified in the insurance policy. We agree with the circuit court that the “drive other car” exclusion applies because we conclude the insureds’ son was the owner of the automobile he was driving. Accordingly, we affirm the summary judgment in favor of the insurer. This opinion will not be published.
