- See Blake v. Continental S.E. Lines, 168 Ga. App. 718, 309 S.E.2d 829 (1983).

Instruction on truck operating on public road.

- In an action for injuries sustained by the plaintiff when the plaintiff was thrown from the defendant's truck's running board, where the plaintiff had been standing at the defendant's request to keep the truck from toppling over as the defendant drove the truck out of a ditch, since the direct and circumstantial evidence authorized the finding that the truck was being operated in the public road at the time the plaintiff contends the plaintiff was injured, an instruction with reference to the violations of the sections regulating the driving of automobiles on public roads was justified. Bramlett v. Hulsey, 98 Ga. App. 39, 104 S.E.2d 614 (1958).
