Summary[edit]

Description

The rise of the motor car required the American legal system to adapt to new technology and negotiate rules for when things went wrong. In the event that a car should run into a train at a crossing, the courts decided the car driver's control of their vehicle at that time should not be considered by juries in deciding liability. In other words, car drivers did not have a responsibility to operate their vehicles at speeds that would allow them to stop suddenly in responses to road hazards. <a href="https://www.jstor.org/stable/1108578">The Note.</a>
