Abstract
Description
A collection of motor vehicle laws gathered for the purpose of providing information to motorists of whom, the author claims, “comparatively few are thoroughly familiar with the fundamental rules of road conduct, to say nothing of the provisions of the motor vehicle laws.” Includes comments on general regulations that apply across jurisdictions and plain language discussion and examples of the application of the law. Focused on the states of New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Massachusetts, with appendices providing brief summaries of motor vehicle regulations in other states and Canadian provinces.
