Contributory Negligence of Passenger: Placing Self in Position of Danger
If before or upon entering an automobile, a passenger becomes aware of, or in the
exercise of ordinary care ought to become aware of, a danger which involves a risk of injury
to the passenger, it is then the passenger's duty to exercise ordinary care to take such action
for his or her protection as would be taken by a person of ordinary intelligence and prudence
under the same or similar circumstances.

Unofficial copy of government-published law, reproduced from official sources with full provenance. Not an official publication; verify against official sources before relying on it in a filing. Records in the 'guidance' corpus, and only that corpus, are sub-regulatory (interpretive guidelines, survey procedures) and are not binding law. Validity bounds follow each jurisdiction's declared temporalBasis.
