Crider v. Sneider

This case perfectly illustrates the absurdity of the guest-passenger rule. See my special concurrence in Grimes v. Roe, 242 Ga. 669, 670-671 (251 SE2d 266) (1978) and my dissent in Bickford v. Nolen, 240 Ga. 255, 258-261 (240 SE2d 24) (1977). Under the majority opinion, where two parties alternate in driving an automobile on a trip, the duty of care owed to the non-driver is slight care when the owner is driving and ordinary care when the non-owner is driving.

I am authorized to state that Presiding Justice Undercofler joins in this special concurrence.
