Opinion
[No. 54, January Term, 1937.]
Decided March 17th, 1937.
Motor Vehicle Collision — Sudden Stopping
Negligence on the part of the driver of a motor vehicle may be found in an unnecessary stopping of the vehicle without signalling to the rear, even if the owner is ignorant of the presence of another vehicle behind.
The only rule as to the interval to be kept between two vehicles running one behind the other is that of reasonable care under the circumstances, and the mere fact that a vehicle is moving in close proximity to another and keeping up with it does not of itself constitute negligence.
