McGinnis v. Smith
Supreme Court of North Carolina · Decided September 28, 1960
253 N.C. 70; 116 S.E.2d 177; 1960 N.C. LEXIS 458
McGinnis v. Smith

Opinion of the Court

PER CuRiam.

The admission by defendant driver of a violation of G.S. 20-152 (a) is sufficient to require jury determination of the question of actionable negligence. The evidence with respect to contributory negligence is sufficient to permit but not compel an affirmative answer to that issue raised by the pleadings.

Reversed.
