P1250 REVIEW DENIED Alabama, which has no permissive user vicarious liability statute, has a predominant interest in controlling conduct on its highways, while California's permissive user statute was designed mainly to protect users of California roads, so in an action for negligence brought in California by California residents and arising from an automobile accident that occurred in Alabama, the court should apply Alabama's law to questions of vicarious liability.CitationCASTRO v BUDGET RENT-A-CAR (Alabama Accident) 154 CA4 1162 [See: 49 USC 13101 etseq, 31101 etseq; Serna v Pettey 110 CA4 1475, T/AT 9/03; Kearney v Salomon 39 C4 95, T/AT 8/06]
