Wis JI-Civil 1107
Racing
A safety statute provides that no driver of a motor vehicle shall participate in a race
upon any highway.
A "race" is an intentional contest of speed or acceleration between two or more
vehicles.
In determining whether (the drivers of the vehicles involved) were participating in a
race, you should consider the conduct of the drivers as a whole, including speed of the
vehicles, the relative position of the vehicles on the highway and with respect to each other,
and whether there was an intention by them to compete.
Failure to comply with this safety statute is negligence.
