N.C.P.I.—Motor Vehicle 220.20
KNOWINGLY PERMITTING ONE TO OPERATE A VEHICLE WITHOUT A LICENSE-GENERAL PROVISION.
The motor vehicle law provides that no person shall authorize or
knowingly permit a motor vehicle [owned by him] [under his control] to be
operated by any person in violation of the motor vehicle laws.2
Authorizing or knowingly permitting a person without a license to
operate a motor vehicle is negligence within itself.
However, a finding of such negligence does not alone establish a
causal connection between it and [the collision] [(describe other
occurrence)]. Such negligence would not be a proximate cause if the
operation of the vehicle was otherwise in accordance with the duties
imposed by law.3
