Del. P.J.I. Civ. § 6.2
Maintain Proper Control
CONTROL
A driver must keep a vehicle under proper control. This means that the vehicle
must be operated at such a speed and with such attention that the driver can stop with
a reasonable degree of quickness or steer safely by objects or other vehicles on the
highway, depending upon existing circumstances and the likelihood of danger to
others.
Therefore, if you find that any party failed to exercise a proper degree of control
over a motor vehicle, you must find that party negligent.
