LAW IN THE NEWS

Every driver has had the ex-
perience, not once but many
times. Of being blinded by the
headlights of some oncoming
motorist who fails to dim his
lights.
On the big dual-traffic ex-
presswayS the seriousness Of
this situation is mitigated. But
most Of the Nations roads still
are two or three lane Jobs,
and on highways such as these
headlight binding can be very
critical.
II you should find yourself in
this predicament. what is the
best thing to do? And II the
binding causes you to damage
property or persons along the
roadside. how much are you
liable for?
Slowing Down Required
No doubt. the best thing to
do from the standpoint Of OPP
Grating the car will depend on
the individual driver and the
circumstances. But from a le-
gal point Of view there seems
to be no substitute for slowing
your car to the maximum ex-
tent traffic conditions will
allow.
Not long ago a case Of this
kind in Pennsylvania went all
the way to the State Supreme
Court:
one motorist had been
blinded by the lights OF an
other while the two cars were
about 1000 feet apart; that is.
the drivers vision was consid-
erably disturbed although he
could see well enough to stay
on the highway. The blinded"
motorist was travelling well
within the speed limit, but he
did not slow his speed until the
two cars were about $50 feet
apart and then he slowed only
about 5 m.p.h. 1t was about
at this point that he struck and
killed a pedestrian walking
along the side Of the road.
Sued by the victims wife, the
motorist argued he could not
