The following excerpt is from Snider v. Whitson, 184 Cal.App.2d 211, 7 Cal.Rptr. 353 (Cal. App. 1960):
Sufficiency of a similar complaint was tested in Hinson v. Dawson, 244 N.C. 23, 92 S.E.2d 393, 62 A.L.R.2d 806. Although there was a conclusory allegation that the defendant's conduct had been wanton, and punitive damages asked for, the facts were held sufficient to state a cause of action on information and belief. The plaintiff complained of defective vision rendering the defendant incapable of seeing and apprehending dangers inherent to operation of motor vehicles, and the defendant had full knowledge of such defect. The court concluded that the plaintiff had a right, in relation to the facts alleged, to alleged that the defendant's conduct was wanton.
