Super. 2000) (table) ARGUED: May 14, 2002 CONCURRING OPINION MR. JUSTICE NIGRO DECIDED: December 31, 2002 I agree with the majority that the named driver exclusion at issue is in accord with the public policy of this Commonwealth. I write separately only to emphasize my agreement with the result reached in this case, where the driver was clearly excluded from policy coverage, did not pay for the coverage requested, and was at the time of the accident violating the motor vehicle laws of the Commonwealth. See 75 Pa.C.S. § 1543 (defining summary offense of driving while under suspension).
