PrOximate Cause OF Accidents---Intervening Agency

the injured party having, in most
jurisdiction, the right to proceed
against either or both of the opera
tors, on the theory that they are
jointly and severally liable for the
results of their negligence. In such a
case, however, the recovery against
one operator will discharge the
other, the injured party not being
permitted to recover twice for the
same injury.
This being the state of the law, the
operator should avoid operating his
machine with the thought in mind
that he is relieved from liability by
reason of the negligence of another
operator. The tendency to place the
blame on the other fellow as an
alibi for his own wrongful acts is
natural and human one, and the law
has wisely, for the protection Of
other users of the highway, refused
to accept this alibi as discharging a
negligent operator from liability. The
only safe and sane way to operate
an automobile is to do so in such a
manner as to avoid an accident, no
matter what the other fellow may do.
This is, of course, large order, and
if it were fulfilled one hundred per
cent by all operators, there would
very likely, be very few accidents.
If the operator will form a habit
of thinking of all other operators
as potential dangers, instead of re-
living on them to protect him from
the consequences of his own negli-
gence, much progress will be made
toward the safety of all concerned.
We have no right to rely on the
other fellow, and the law wisely
saws that we do so at our own risk.

AS explained in previous artlcieS'
the onerator is liable for all conse-
ouences of which his negligence is
the proximate cause, which is to say
all Injuries which can be traced dl-
rectly to his negligence act. The
chain of prOximate results, however
which may be said to have arisen
from the operators negligent act IS
usually held to be broken by the IN
terDosition of an active agency for
which the operator is not response
ble and over which he has no con-
troll. Thus, an operator who has I'M
nrOperly parked his car at the top
of an incline is not liable to persons
who are injured by reason OF the
fact that some one in no way con-
nected with the operator tampers
with the brakes and causes the ma
chine to run down the hill. rms Is
as distinguished from a case where
the negligent act of the operator
causes it to strike another automO-
bile which is thereby thrown into d
pedestrian and Injuries him.
But generally speaking, IN order 10
relieve an operator who is himself
negligent, from liability, the inter
yening agency must itself be the
nroximate cause of the accident and
not merely a concurrent cause, and
if the negligence of the operator IS
shown. the fact that third person
was also guilty of negligence which
contributed to the injury, that fact
will not relieve the operator from
liability.
This principle is well illustrated
bv cases where injury results to
third parties by reason of the con-
current negligence of two operators

MOTORISTS URGED
TO INCREASE SPEED
Moeller Wants Drivers to Take
Advantage of New Limit on
Certain Streets.

Motorists were urged to speed up
and take advantage of the increased
speed limits recently put into erect
along certain thoroughfares, in an
address by Col l. G. Moeller, assist
ant director of traffic, before the Lions
Club at a luncheon in the Mayfiower
Hotel yesterday.
The speaker declared that instead OF
travelling at a greater speed, Where
more speed is allowed, the motorists
slow down, with a general congestion
of traffic resulting This, he said, is
true of motorists travelling along Six
teenth street, both where the speed
limit is % and 80 miles an hour The
result has been, he continued, that
the timing of traffic lights had to be
Increased from 80 to 35 seconds, and
then to 40 seconds, because motorists
insist on creeping along at about Is or
IS miles an hour. Everybody wants
more speed but when they get 1t they
slow down, he said.
Brig. Gen. James A. Drain, past
national commander of the American
Legion. spoke Of the advantages to be
derived from organizations such as
the Lions Club, adding: institutions
such as yours have a very favorable
effect upon civilization" He expressed
She hope that some day there would
be such an understanding among the
people of the world that they might
all belong to one great church.
