ROBERT CARTER CONNELL, AND CONNELL SON, INC., A FLORIDA CORPORATION, Appellants, v. MARY RIGGINS AND BRUCE RIGGINS, INDIVIDUALLY, AND MARY RIGGINS, AS GUARDIAN OF THE PERSON AND PROPERTY OF CALEB RIGGINS, Appellees.

PER CURIAM.

Appellants Robert Carter Connell and Connell Son, Inc. argue that the trial court erred by (i) granting the appellees' motion for new trial, and (ii) admitting a driver's manual as evidence of the standard of care required when approaching a yellow flashing traffic light. We affirm the trial court's granting of appellee's motion for new trial because there was no abuse of discretion. However, we agree with appellants that the driver's manual should not have been admitted into evidence. See Sikes v. Seaboard Coast Line Railroad Co, 429 So.2d 1216 (Fla. 1st DCA 1983) (ruling that driver's handbook should not have been admitted into evidence).

Affirmed in part and Reversed in part.

DAVIS, VAN NORTWICK and POLSTON, JJ., concur.
