ELLETT, Justice
(dissenting):
When the insured permitted his son to use the automobile he specifically instructed the son not to permit anyone else to drive the car.
The son violated the instruction from his father, the insured, and thereby terminated his own right to use the car.
Benjamin N. Ryan was not driving with the consent of the insured, but clearly *1342against his wishes and in violation of the specific instructions given to the son.
I can see no difference between the case where the son drove 20 miles out of the way against the instructions of the insured 1 and the instant case where the son permitted another to drive without the permission of the insured. In either case the use of the car at the time was not with the permission of the insured.
I would reverse the judgment and award costs to the appellant.
HENRIOD, C. J., concurs in the dissenting opinion of Mr. Justice ELLETT.

. Western Casualty Co. v. Transamerica Ins. Co., 26 Utah 2d 50, 4S4 P.2d 1180 (1971).
