SECTION 1: PERSONAL AUTO INSURANCE Q1 – Q10
══════════════════════════════════════
Question 1 of 50
A 33-year-old driver is rear-ended at a red light by a hit-and-run driver who flees the
scene before police arrive. Her car sustains $18,000 in damage and she suffers $12,000
in medical bills for whiplash treatment. She carries collision coverage with a $500
deductible, uninsured motorist property damage with a $200 deductible and a $15,000
limit, and uninsured motorist bodily injury matching her 100/300 liability limits.
A. She must file under collision first because it is always primary to uninsured motorist
coverage when the other driver cannot be identified
B. Her uninsured motorist property damage will pay the full $18,000 because hit-and-run
drivers are treated as uninsured with no deductible
C. She can choose to file under collision and pay the $500 deductible, or under UM
property damage and pay the $200 deductible, but she cannot collect from both ✓
CORRECT
,D. She can stack her collision and UM property damage limits to recover $33,000 for the
vehicle damage
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: When both collision and uninsured motorist property damage apply to the
same loss, the insured generally selects which coverage to use but cannot recover more
than the actual loss from both policies. Choice A is incorrect because UM property
damage is not secondary to collision; the insured typically has the election.
Understanding this coordination helps clients avoid unnecessarily high out-of-pocket
costs.
Question 2 of 50
A 52-year-old man lends his pickup truck to his 22-year-old neighbor, who has a valid
license and the owner's explicit permission. The neighbor rear-ends another vehicle at a
stoplight, causing $25,000 in bodily injury to the other driver and $8,000 in damage to
the borrowed truck. The owner's personal auto policy has 50/100/50 liability limits and
collision coverage with a $1,000 deductible.
A. The policy will deny liability coverage because the neighbor is not a named insured or
resident relative
B. The policy will provide liability coverage for the other driver's injuries up to the
per-accident limit and collision coverage for the truck subject to the deductible ✓
CORRECT
C. The policy will cover liability but will exclude collision coverage because permissive
drivers are not covered for damage to the owned vehicle
D. The policy will provide liability coverage only if the neighbor pays the premium
difference for a borrowed vehicle endorsement
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Standard personal auto policies extend liability and physical damage
coverage to permissive users who are not excluded by name, treating them as insureds
while operating the covered auto. Choice A is a common misconception because
,named insured status is not required for permissive use coverage under standard ISO
forms. Agents frequently field questions about lending vehicles, and standard policies
generally follow the car rather than restricting coverage to household members.
Question 3 of 50
A 29-year-old woman lives in a no-fault state and carries personal injury protection with
a $10,000 limit and a $2,000 deductible. She is injured in a single-car accident when she
swerves to avoid a deer, incurring $6,000 in emergency room bills and $3,500 in lost
wages during her six-week recovery. She also has $5,000 in medical payments
coverage.
A. Her medical payments coverage will pay first as primary because the accident
involved no other vehicle
B. Her PIP deductible applies only to lost wages, so medical payments will cover the
$6,000 in full
C. PIP will pay medical and lost wages after her deductible, and medical payments will
typically serve as excess coverage because PIP is primary in no-fault states ✓
CORRECT
D. She cannot collect lost wages under PIP in a single-vehicle accident because no-fault
laws require another insured vehicle to trigger wage benefits
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: In no-fault states, PIP is primary for the insured's own medical expenses and
lost income regardless of fault, while medical payments coverage usually applies as
excess after PIP limits are exhausted. Choice D is incorrect because PIP benefits are
triggered by the use or occupancy of an insured motor vehicle, not by collision with
another insured vehicle. No-fault coordination rules vary by state, and agents must
verify whether medical payments are truly excess or duplicative.
Question 4 of 50
, A 45-year-old man's 17-year-old son, who lives in the household, takes his father's car
without permission and crashes into a parked luxury sedan, causing $45,000 in damage.
The son is listed as a named excluded driver on the policy specifically to reduce
premium, and the father had previously surrendered the son's key after a prior incident.
The father's policy has 100/300/100 liability limits.
A. The policy will provide liability coverage because the son is a resident relative and
automatic coverage overrides the exclusion for occasional use
B. The policy will provide liability coverage up to the property damage limit because
non-permissive use by a resident relative is treated differently than theft by a stranger
C. The policy will provide coverage but will reduce limits to the state minimum because
the son was an unlisted household operator
D. The policy will deny liability coverage because the son is a named excluded driver,
and exclusions apply even to resident relatives operating without permission ✓
CORRECT
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: A named driver exclusion is an endorsement that specifically removes all
coverage for the listed individual regardless of permissive use or relationship to the
named insured. Choice B is tempting because non-permissive use by non-excluded
drivers sometimes retains coverage, but an exclusion endorsement supersedes general
policy provisions. Named driver exclusions are binding contracts that leave the
policyholder personally exposed to liability for that driver's actions.
Question 5 of 50
A 38-year-old woman is renting a compact car while her insured sedan is in the shop for
collision repairs following a covered accident. Her policy includes rental reimbursement
of $30 per day with a $900 limit, and she has full coverage on her sedan including
liability and physical damage. On day four of the rental, she rear-ends another vehicle,
causing $12,000 in damage to the rental and $8,000 in injuries to the other driver. The
rental company also charges her $45 per day for loss of use while the rental is repaired.
