• recognizing confusion regarding the meaning of “wanton,” due to “a failure on the part of litigants and some courts to distinguish between intent to act wantonly on the one hand, and intent to injure the particular plaintiff, on the other”
• jury instruction that “contributory negligence is no defense to an action based upon a defendant’s wanton disregard of the rights of others” was “undoubtedly correct”
