Ooncueeing Opinion by
Me. Justice Bok :
I agree with the reasoning and conclusion of the Majority opinion, but am unable to endorse the follow*284ing sentence: “As solicitous as is the law in demanding that the driver of any car be vigilant every moment that he is at the wheel, it follows naturally that the law should be twice as solicitous about the driver who is in effect driving two cars at the same time.”
In terms of law I cannot tell what this means and what it does to the standard of care required of a towing driver. It also seems inconsistent with what immediately precedes it: is his duty of care that which is dictated by the circumstances, or is it doubled, and if doubled, how is it to be expressed when charging a jury?
Mr. Justice Benjamin B. Jones joins in this opinion.
