Count III 12. Defendant, Lawrence A. Rodgers was negligent in lending his car to Joseph A. Rodgers. 13. Defendant, Lawrence A. Rodgers, in entrusting his vehicle to his son, Joseph A. Rodgers; to the ability of Joseph A. Rodgers to operate the vehicle and to obey the laws of the Commonwealth, did so without due regard to the manner in which the vehicle would be used. 14.
