The Pennsylvania Supreme Court has unanimously ruled that unregistered driver exclusions in insurance policies do not violate the Pennsylvania Motor Vehicle Financial Responsibility Law or public policy.

A passenger in the other vehicle sued, but Safe Auto pursued a declaratory judgment action to determine whether it had to pay out on the policy or if it was protected by the policy’s unregistered driver exclusion (URDE).
