PER CURIAM.
Appellees Volvo Finance North America, Inc., and World Omni Leasing, Inc., are lessors of automobiles which were leased for periods in excess of one year. Their lessees, Jeanmarie Sangerman and Jerry Carver, respectively, each maintained insurance in the amounts required by paragraph 324.021(9)(b), Florida Statutes (1987). The two lessees were involved in separate automobile accidents. The injured plaintiffs sued the lessees and the lessors. The lessors were granted summary judgment on the ground that liability was foreclosed by paragraph 324.021(9)(b), and the injured plaintiffs have appealed.
We affirm under the authority of Raynor v. De La Nuez, 558 So. 2d 141 (Fla. 3d DCA 1990); Folmar v. Young, 560 So. 2d 798 (Fla. 4th DCA 1990); Kraemer v. General Motors Acceptance Corp., 556 So. 2d 431 (Fla. 2d DCA 1989); and Perry v. G.M. A.C. Leasing Corp., 549 So. 2d 680 (Fla. 2d DCA 1989), review denied, 558 So. 2d 18 (Fla.1990).
As was done in Raynor, we note that the question presented here affects the rights of the motoring public, and certify the question to the Supreme Court of Florida as one of great public importance.
