FERREN, Associate Judge,
with whom NEWMAN, Chief Judge, joins, concurring:
While I join in Judge KELLY’s opinion for the court, I would add that the facts here, manifesting negligence by the drivers of both vehicles, provide a classic illustration of why legislatures or courts — in 36 jurisdictions to date — have adopted the doctrine of comparative negligence. See Alvis v. Ribar, 85 Ill.2d 1, 11-14, 52 Ill.Dec. 23, 28-33, 421 N.E.2d 886, 891-95 (1981). See generally R. E. Keeton, Venturing To Do Justice 45-53, 85-89 (1969).
