Judge LambAffirms difference between careless driving and assured clear distance. Middletown officer, originally charged with assUred clear distance, found guilty of speed excessive to the conditions after icy Ellen Drive crash Jan. 27. The ruling ties both to ordinance 733.01.
Judge Lamb notes confusion over three sections of the ordinance defining assured clear distance. He says stationary objects off the street do not count, and excessive speed or street conditions cause crashes. He cites 1952 data showing yield violations remain the top factor in Middletown accidents.
Lt Combs argues the core misunderstanding is how the law is applied. He states patrolmen are trained to investigate accidents not automatically issue citations. Without clear fault or evidence witnesses and physical proof are needed to cite for ACD, following too closely or yield. Damage has no bearing on a citation.
