DECIDED JUNE 19, 1984.
I concur in the judgment for the reasons stated in Carter v. Banks, 254 Ga. 550 ( 330 S.E.2d 866) (1985). In addition I note that the record in this case shows that, in applying for insurance, the insured expressly rejected optional PIP, collision and loss of use coverage. See Ga. L. 1974, pp. 113, 118; now OCGA § 33-34-5 (a). Nevertheless, the insured had, and was paid pursuant to, pre-no-fault collision coverage.
