Case Notes
Where a motorcycle ridden by a minor and a car driven by the defendant collided, it was not reversible error to refuse to instruct the jury that a minor should not be held to the same standard of care as an adult and that a higher degree of care is owed to minors, as this section and §§ 27-16-204, 27-16-206, 27-16-207, 27-51-201, 27-51-208, 27-51-209, 27-51-211, 27-51-306, and 27-51-308, pertaining to safety on the highways, disclose no distinction between the degree of care to be exercised by a minor and an adult.
