Va. Model Jury Instr. Civ. No. 47.700
Permissive Use Omnibus Clause
If someone drives a vehicle with the express or implied permission of the insured, then the
policy covers the driver so long as he uses the vehicle for the permitted purpose. The driver had
express permission if the insured directly stated that he could drive the vehicle. The driver had
implied permission if there was a course of conduct between the insured and the driver from which
you can fairly infer the owner’s consent to the operation.
Permission, express or implied, to use a vehicle for a particular purpose may not be
unreasonably exceeded.

Unofficial copy of government-published law, reproduced from official sources with full provenance. Not an official publication; verify against official sources before relying on it in a filing. Records in the 'guidance' corpus, and only that corpus, are sub-regulatory (interpretive guidelines, survey procedures) and are not binding law. Validity bounds follow each jurisdiction's declared temporalBasis.
