¶1also dissenting:
¶2I join in Justice Ryan’s dissent insofar as the dissent relates to accidents which occurred subsequent to the effective date of this court’s holding in Alvis v. Ribar (1981), 85 Ill. 2d 1. Because the questions have not been presented, I would express no opinion at this time with regard to the constitutionality of Public Act 83 — 1507 or its effect on the views expressed in Justice Ryan’s dissent.
