1Opinion of the CourtStewart, J.
_JjThe plaintiff, Cathy Griffin (“Griffin”), sued the defendants, the City of Monroe and Jeffrey P. Pilcher (“Pilcher”), for damages stemming from an automobile accident. The trial court rendered judgment in favor of the defendants. Griffin now appeals. At issue is whether the trial court was correct to judge Griffin’s conduct according to that of a driver entering a highway and whether the trial court erred in its application of the standard applicable to drivers of emergency vehicles. Finding no error in the trial court’s judgment, we affirm.
