Lookout: Guest's Duty to Warn
If a guest sees a situation ahead on the highway that presents a likely danger to safety,
and if the guest notices or it is apparent to the guest that the driver does not see it or is
oblivious to it, or if the driver sees it and takes no precaution or measure to avoid the danger,
then it becomes the duty of the guest to warn the driver of the danger. Failure on the part of
the guest to warn the host under such circumstances constitutes a failure to exercise ordinary
care for the guest's safety.

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.
