1. (1) The excluded person is higher rated than the named insured and the difference between the annualized premium that the named insured would pay on the liability coverage under the policy including the higher rated person and the annualized premium that the named insured would pay on the policy excluding the higher rated person would cause financial hardship as described in this section to the named insured.
