AUTOMOBILES AND MOTOR VEHICLES, § 160.1 — instruction directing verdict must contain all necessary elements to sustain verdict. In action for personal injuries arising from automobile collision which occurred while plaintiff's automobile was being driven by his friend, where instruction given at plaintiff's instance was to effect that jury should find defendant guilty if they believed from preponderance of evidence that plaintiff's injuries were caused by negligence of defendant and that plaintiff was in exercise of ordinary care for his own safety at time of injuries, held that since instruction directed verdict, all elements necessary to sustain verdict must be contained therein, and instruction was defective for reason that it disregarded element of ordinary care on part of driver.
