This section is controlling over inconsistent provision of insurance policy. Protective Fire and Cas. Co. v. Cornelius, 176 Neb. 75, 125 N.W.2d 179 (1963).

A third party operating a named insured's vehicle becomes an additional insured party when given express or implied permission to operate the vehicle from an initial permittee. Implied permission by a named insured depends upon what actually was said and done prior to the accident. Because the essence of the implied permission doctrine is the course of conduct and relationship between the insured and another driver, the facts that two drivers were friends and periodically borrowed each other's cars without objection justified a finding of implied permission. State Farm Mut. Ins. Cos. v. AMCO Ins. Co., 9 Neb. App. 872, 621 N.W.2d 553 (2001).
