N.C.P.I.—Motor Vehicle 211.82
CHILDREN-TRANSPORTING CHILDREN IN OPEN BED OF VEHICLE.
The motor vehicle law provides that it is unlawful to operate on a
[street] [highway]2 a vehicle having an open bed or open cargo area
without ensuring that no child under sixteen years of age is transported
in the bed or cargo area of that vehicle. An open bed or open cargo area
is a bed or cargo area without permanent overhead restraining
construction.
A violation of this law is not negligence in and of itself. However,
the evidence with regard to this law is to be considered with all other
facts in evidence in determining whether the defendant was negligent.
