Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
The District Court of Appeal, Third District, certified to this Court that its decision in the instant case, reported at 224 So.2d 718,
" '[P] asses upon a question of great public interest' as to whether, in an automobile liability insurance policy which includes uninsured motorist coverage, an indorsement relieving the insurer of liability from accidents occurring when the automobile is driven by any of the insured's three sons (under 25 years of age), is effective notwithstanding § 627.0851 F.S. to prevent recovery under the policy by persons otherwise insured thereunder for injuries or losses caused by an uninsured motorist in an accident which occurred when one of the sons was driving the insured automobile."
After careful consideration of the arguments, briefs and record presented in this cause, we have concluded that the dissenting opinion of the Honorable Judge Swann appearing at 224 So.2d 719-721 correctly interpreted the applicable law. Therefore, we adopt Judge Swann's opinion and submit it as the proper response to the certified question.
The decision of the District Court is reversed and this cause is remanded to that Court for disposition not inconsistent with our treatment of this cause.
It is so ordered.
DREW and CARLTON, JJ., SPEC-TOR, District Judge, and VANN, Circuit Judge, concur.
ERVIN, C. J., dissents with opinion.
