Determination of Proper Speed
What speed will be adjudged negli-
gent depends on the local surround
ings; the use being made of the
street and the like.-l67 N. w.
Qowa) $50
Defects in Street.-The driver of
an automobile may assume that the
street is in a safe condition for
travel, and that the city has exer-
cised the proper degree OF diligence
and caution to keep it so.-l67 n.
w. Qowa) ga.
Injury from Lowering of Rail-
road Safety Gates.-The mere hap
pening of an accident, such as in
jury to a passenger in an automo-
bile from the lowering of safety
gates at a crossing, did not raise
a presumption of negligence.-lO3
A. (Pa.) 730.
Care in Crossing Street.-A per-
son crossing public street is re-
quired to make reasonable use of all
his senses, and if he fails so to do,
and is injured by reason of such
failure, his negligence will bar re-
eovery.-l67 N. w. Qowa) 639.
: Measure of Care Expected Of Pc
notwithstanding up and down a
main travelled street before attempt
ing to cross at a point other than
usual place cannot be said, as a
matter of law, to suffice as the meas
ure OF care expected of pedestrians.
-l67 N. w. (Iowa) 639.
Evidence as to Insurance Carried
Inadmissible.-ln action by plain
tiff pedestrian for injuries due to
collision with defendants automo-
bile, evidence as to whether defend
ant was earring insurance against
accident due to operation OF his au-
tomobile would be immaterial.-lo7
N. w. Iowa) $50.
instruction as to Insurance Car
ried.-An instruction that if defend
ant was carrying insurance against
accident while operating his auto
mobile, such fact might be consid-
cred in determining his negligence
in colliding with plaintiff pedestrian,
was properly refused.--l67 N. w.
(Iowa) $50.
Measure of Ordinary Care by
Driver.-Ordinary care as applied to
the driver of an automobile in the
streets is such as prudent men Ill
such occupation ordinarily use, con-
sdering the time, place, condition
of the highway, weather, vehicle,
and presence of other persons--l6I
N. w. 0owa) 6S4.
: Liability of Owner Where Chauf-
feur Is Furnished by Another.-One
who keeps an automobile for the
pleasure and convenience of himself
and family is liable for injury caused
by its negligent operation in such
'nse, and it is immaterial that the
chauffeur is furnished and paid for
by another.-l03 A. (Pa.) US.
