DRIVING RULES LAID DOWN. Court Says Motorist Passing Parked Car Takes Own Chances. Rights of motorists passing one another on a street, when they come to a parked car at the same time, are defined by Judge Thomas H. Darby in a decision handed down in Common Pleas Court yesterday reversing the conviction in Municipal Court of Thomas D. Cahill, 1311 Ault View Avenue, shoe manufacturer, who was fined $25 and costs by Judge Thomas J.

Elliott on a charge of reckless driving. May 15 Cahill was driving up the hill on Vista Avenue near Ivy Avenue, and Melville J. Lavender, North Crescent Avenue, was coming down the hill. A car was parked on Lavender's side of the road and, when both machines reached this parked car at the same time, Lavender turned out to pass it and Cahill's machine collided with Lavender's. When tried in Municipal Court, Lavender declared Cahill had been drinking, but there was no evidence of this.

fact otherwise, and, anyway, Judge Darby holds, "the mere fact of intoxication does not prove reckless driving, and aside from that one item in the case there is no evidence of reckless driving. Then the Court proceeds to define the rights of motorists in such a situation, saying: "The law is that parties shall keep on the right side of the road except where there are obstructions, but when one approaches an obstruction on his side of the street, at a narrow point, it would seem that ordinary care would require him to check up and not to force his way into a narrow passage likely to result in a collision, as happened in this case." Cahill sued Lavender in Municipal Court for damages to his car, and another Judge there awarded him a judgment, of which Judge Darby has this to say: "The situation is presented of one Judge of the Court finding the plaintiff in error beyond a reasonable doubt, and another member of the same Court finding in his favor on the same state of facts, where all he was required to do was to prove his case by a preponderance of evidence." On the ground that the evidence was not sufficient to show reckless driving, Judge Darby reversed the judgment of the lower Court fining Cahill. MARRIAGE LICENSES.
