Similarly, the rule first enunciated in Wildman v. Government Employees' Ins. Co., 48 Cal.2d 31, 39, 307 P.2d 359, 364, has been consistently repeated and followed in subsequent appellate decisions: 'We are of the opinion that for an insurer to issue a policy of insurance which does not cover an accident which occurs when a person, other than the insured, is driving with the permission and consent of the insured is a violation of the public policy of this state as set forth in sections 402 [present section 17150] and 415 [present section 16451] of the Vehicle Code.'
