Dale E. Davis v. Peter L. Walent & Others

At the trial of a motor vehicle negligence action evidence warranted a finding that the defendant had been negligent in permitting his automobile to be operated by a sixteen year old whose California license to operate had a restriction on it allowing him to drive only to work or school as a result of his having driven while intoxicated. [87-90] A defendant in a motor vehicle negligence action who had made no objection to the Judge's charge to the jury defining an incompetent operator in response to the defendant's request was not entitled to challenge the instruction on appeal.
