     [4.] 5.  An operator’s policy of liability insurance must not provide coverage for damages incurred while a person other than the named insured is operating a motor vehicle.

     [5.] 6.  An operator’s policy of liability insurance must provide coverage for liability incurred by the insured while a motor vehicle owned by the insured is not being operated by any person.
