The insurance company’s obligation to cover civil liability arising from damage suffered by any passenger from accidents involving vehicles intended for passenger transport and those intended for goods transport, whether among those permitted to ride as workers or those not permitted to ride, except the vehicle’s driver, his wife, his parents and his children. The basis of this. The consequence of the insured’s use of the vehicle contrary to the provisions of the Traffic Law and its Regulations is confined to the relationship between him and the insurer regarding the latter’s right of recourse, without extending to the injured party’s right to obtain compensation from the insurer.
