Thе insurance policy contained, among others, the following provisions:
“III. Definition of ‘Insured’
“With respеct to the insurance for bodily injury liability and for property damage liability the unqualified wоrd ‘insured’ includes the named insured and also includes any person while using the automobile аnd any person or organization legally responsible for the use thereof. . . .
“Exclusions
“This policy does not apply: . . .
“(o) undеr Coverage A to the insured or any member of the family of the insured residing in the same housеhold as the insured.”
*73 The Insurance Company contends that the above-quoted exclusion clause is valid and that a named insured riding in his own automobile as a passenger cannot recover from it for personal injuries received as a result of the nеgligence of another who is driving the insured’s automobile with his permission.
This question has been рresented for determination upon two prior occasions. In the case of
Frye v. Theige,
Bittner, Sr., calls attention to the following conditions contained in the pоlicy:
“8. Financial Responsibility Laws — Coverages A and B
“Such insurance as is afforded by this policy for bodily injury liability or property damagе liability shall comply with the provisions of the motor vehicle Financial Responsibility Lаw of any state or province which shall be applicable with respect to any such liability arising out of the ownership, maintenance, or use of the automobile during the policy period, to the extent of the coverage and limits of liability required by such law, but in no event in excess of the limits of liability stated in this policy. The insured agrees tо reimburse the company for any payment made by the company which it would not have been obligated to make under the *74 terms of this policy except for the agreement contained in this paragraph. . . .
“22. Tertjis of Policy Conformed to Statute
“Terms of this policy which are in conflict with the statutes of the state wherein this policy is issued are hereby amended to cоnform to such statutes.”
Because of these provisions he contends that subs. (21) (b) 2 and (21) (d) of sеc. 85.09, Stats., must be read into the policy and when that is done the policy is ambiguous when rеad as a whole, and that the cited subsections of the statute invalidate the exclusion relied upon by the Insurance Company. The trial court so held.
Sec. 85.09, Stats., has twо main divisions, the first part known as the “Safety Responsibility Law” and the second known as the “Finаncial Responsibility Law.” The subsections thereof cited by Bittner deal with the Financial Responsibility Law. In brief, the Safety Responsibility Law provides for the posting of security follоwing an automobile accident. The Financial Responsibility Law relates to the furnishing of proof of financial responsibility for the future. Thus the subsections quoted have reference only to future accidents, and there is no contention that Bittner had beеn involved in a prior accident and that the policy therefore had to cоnform to the subsections cited. Policies thereunder are restricted to persons mentioned in the statute from whom the commissioner of motor vehicles may require рroof of financial responsibility. The inclusion of par. 8 of the “Conditions” of the policy does not enlarge the insurer’s obligation where the insured has done nothing requiring his compliance with the Financial Responsibility Law. The trial court felt that the policy as a whole was ambiguous without pointing out the ambiguities.
In view of the decisions in the Frye and Musselman Cases the exclusion clause is caрable of understanding without resort to rules of construction and Bittner’s arguments cannot be upheld.
*75 By the Court.- — -Order reversed. Cause remanded with directions to grant the motion of the National Farmers Union Property & Casualty Company for summary judgment dismissing the cross complaint of the defendant Lloyd W. Bitt-ner, Sr., against it.
