(2) Where there was in force a contract of insurance under the repealed Division relating to a motor car then in any action brought against the owner or driver of the motor car or against any authorized insurer in respect of an accident resulting in the death of or bodily injury to any person being at the time of the accident a passenger for reward in the motor car, it is not a defence that the contract of carriage had negatived, limited or modified the liability of the owner or driver of the motor car.
