Description
The North Dakota Guest Law, Chapter 39-15, North Dakota Century Code, provides that a "guest," defined as a person who accepts a ride in any vehicle without giving compensation therefor, cannot recover for damages caused by the ordinary negligence of his host. He can recover only if he can prove that his injuries and damages were caused by "the intoxication, willful misconduct, or gross negligence" of the owner, driver, or other person responsible for the operation of the vehicle. The statute applies only to injuries occurring upon the public highways.
