Book Description

Excerpt from The Law of Automobiles Not only have the law-making bodies enacted laws in reference to the motor car and automobiling, but the reported judicial decisions of the highest courts of record and other courts in many jurisdictions are multiplying, and have accumulated to such an extent that many questions of vital importance have been decided. Very true, many of the cases merely have called for the application of established rules of law, in deal ing with the motor vehicle; but there have been decided numerous points of special application to the automobile and its operation on the public avenues of travel, of which the up-to-date layman, lawyer, and judge should be cognizant if he is to keep abreast with the progress of scientific inventions which are bound to figure in litigation and to occupy a prominent place in our jurisprudence. That there existed a necessity for a collection of all the law, both statutory and that announced by the courts in an accessible convenient form, is undoubted. The encouragement given to the author in his under taking to compile this work by gentlemen prominently interested in automobiling has strengthened his belief that a work of this kind will be welcomed.
