Vehicle and Traffic Law.

 Practice point: A driver with the right-of-way is entitled to anticipate that other drivers will yield as required, pursuant to Vehicle and Traffic Law §§ 1128, 1143.

Students should note, however, that the driver with the right-of-way has the duty to maintain a proper lookout to avoid a collision.

The case is Bonilla v. Calabria, NY Slip Op 00481 (2d Dept. 2011).


Tomorrow's issue is Labor Law.
