Ward V. Smith, Respondent, v. Ray C. Vaughn, Appellant.
Argued October 5, 1961;
decided October 19, 1961.
W. Earle Costello for appellant.
Robert H. Cole for respondent.

Opinion:
Judgment affirmed, with costs. We do not approve the practice in negligence cases of charging section 1190 of the Vehicle and Traffic Law unless the proof fairly indicates that something more than ordinary negligence is involved. However, in the present case we do not consider that the court's instructions as to this section were prejudicial error. No opinion.
