Which of the following losses is specifically EXCLUDED under Part A Liability of the Personal Auto Policy?
Explanation
Intentional acts are excluded under Part A — the policy responds only to accidental loss. Other exclusions include damage to property owned, transported, or rented to the insured (with limited exceptions), liability arising from delivery of goods for compensation (ride-share/delivery without endorsement), use of vehicles with fewer than four wheels, and racing on a track. Negligent driving causing injury to a permitted user or pedestrian is exactly what Part A is designed to cover.
