Syllabus

<p>Negligence — Automobiles—Lights—Instruction to jury — Act of April 27, 1909, P. L. 265.</p> <p>In the trial of an action to recover damages for personal injuries resulting from the alleged negligent operation of defendant’s automobile, it is not error for the court to instruct the jury that it is negligence to drive an automobile at a very rapid rate at night, without lights to give notice that the automobile is coming, and to enable the driver to see the road ahead. Such instruction is not in conflict with the Act of April 27,1909, P. L. 265, Section 12, which requires two side lights, visible for 200 feet ahead.</p>
