  Section 1. Section 375 of the vehicle and traffic law  is  amended  by

section or part of this act be adjudged by any court of competent juris-
diction to be invalid, such judgment shall not affect, impair or invali-
date  the  remainder  thereof, but shall be confined in its operation to
the clause, sentence, subdivision, paragraph, section  or  part  thereof
directly  involved  in the controversy in which such judgment shall have
been rendered.
  S 4. This act shall take effect on the one hundred eightieth day after
