Opinion by

This was an action commenced in tlie district court of Tulsa county, Okla., on March 20, 1919, by *83 .the plaintiff in error, as plaintiff, against the defendaht in error, as defendant, to recover damages for personal injuries alleged to have been Sustained by the plaintiff; through the negligence of the defendant. We shall hereafter refer to the parties as plaintiff and defendant, respectively, as they appeared in the trial court.

The plaintiff alleged in her petition, in substance, that on the evening of March 16, 1919, she was riding in a certain Ford car, sitting in the front seat on the right side, which said automobile -was being driven on South Boulder street in the city of Tulsa, proceeding north at a rate of speed not in excess of eight miles per hour, and that the defendant carelessly and negligently bached his automobile out from the east side of Boulder street (where it had been previously parked) at a high and dangerous rate of speed, striking the automobile in which the plaintiff was riding with great force, inflicting certain wounds and injuries to the plaintiff as set forth in her petition, to the damage of the plaintiff in the sum of $10,000.

The petition also alleges that the automobile in which the plaintiff was riding, was being driven by one Ed Ritschell, and that the plaintiff was riding therein as a guest of said Ed 'Ritschell.

To the .petition oE the plaintiff, the defendant filed his answer, in which, in addition to a general denial, the defendant pleaded contributory negligence on the part of the driver of the automobile in which the plaintiff was riding, in that the same was being driven at a high and dangerous rate of speed, and at a rate of speed in excess of, and in violation of. the ordinances of the city of Tulsa, and that by reason thereof the accident was caused by the negligence of the driver of the automobile in which the plaintiff was riding.

There is evidence in the record on behalf of. the plaintiff that in March, 1919, the plaintiff was residing in the city of Tulsa, and on the evening of March 16, 1919, she was riding in a certain Ford car, being driven by Ed Ritschell, being the guest of Mr. •Ritschell, who-was conveying the .plaintiff from her brother’s home to her own home. That said ear was being driven north on the said Boulder street near the post office in the city of .Tulsa, at which the accident in question occurred; that the defendant, whose ear was parked on the east side of said street, backed his car out past the middle of the street, without giving any signal or warning before backing the same out, and that the back end of the defend ant’s car collided with and struck the ear in which the plaintiff was rifling, in which collision the plaintiff sustained certain injuries ; that tne ear in wmch the .plaintiff was riding was preceding at a rate of speed from six to eignt mbes per hour at the time of the accident.

There is also evidence in the record that an investigation of the accident was made by a police officer of the city of Tulsa immediately after the happening of the accident, who testified that the Car of the defendant was eight feet, six inches beyond the center of the street, in the direction which he was backing when he hit the car in wliieh l he plaintiff was riding.

There is -also evidence hi the record that the defendant stated to this officer at the time that he had not-been driving long, and that he did not have a tail light, or rear light, or at least such light was not burning.

There is no dispute as to the fact that plaintiff sustained injuries as a result of the acscidont. The defendant offered no evidence except the -following portions of ordinances of the city of Tulsa:

“Vehicles Must Have Warning Devices. Certain Kinds Forbidden: Every bicycle, motor vehicle, street car engine, and machine in use upon the streets of the city of -Tulsa, shall be equipped with good and sufficient brakes, and with a suitable gong, bell, horn, or other adequate signal in good working order, and of the proper size and character sufficient to give warning of the approach of such bicycle, motor vehicle, street car, engine or machine to pedestrians and to riders and drivers of other vehicles, and to persons entering or leaving street cars; hut such gongs, hells, horns and other signals shall not be sounded except when necessary to give warning.

“Speed of Vehicles Regulated: It shall be unlawful for any person, driving or -riding any horse, bicycle, or other vehicle, or operating ■ or driving any motorcycle, motor-tricycle, or'other motor vehicle of any character, or any street car, to drive, ride or operate the same upon any public street, or any public place in a reckless or imprudent manner, or in such manner or at such rate of speed as to endanger the property, 'life, or limb of any other person.

“Provided, that driving in excess of the following rates of speed for a distance of more than 200 feet shall be presumptive evidence of driving at a rate of speed which is not careful and prudent, but is reckless, to wit: Ten (10) miles per hour on the streets specified in section 1382, as the congested district.”

It is admitted in the record by and between the respective parties that the place *84 where the accident occurred was in that portion of the city of Tuisa known as the congested district.

At the conclusion of all the evidence the court sustameu a motion for a uirected verdict, anu uirected the jury to return a verdict in xavor of the ueiendant, although it is aiscioseu by the record that the court had at me conclusion of the piaintnf's evidence overruieu a uemurrer to such evidence.

In accordance with the directions of the court a dn-ected verdict was returned by the jury in favor of the Ueienuant anu against the plaintilf, to which me piaintid at the time uuiy excepted, and thereupon the court eutereu juuginent iu favor of ue-fenuanc, anu against saiu piamtrrf upon tnc saiu veruict. JViocion for new trial was overruled, and piainrnrs cause of action dismissed.

The petition in error contains two assignments of error, the first being:

“That the court erred in overruling plaintiff in error's motion tor new trial.”

—and the second being:

“That the court erred in directing the jury . in saiu cause to return a veruict therein, in favor of the defendant in error.”

Both assignments of error raise the same question, to wit: The error of the court in witnurawing the case from the jury, and directing a veruict in favor of the defendant in error and against the plaintiff in error. The question under these facts and the record is: Bid the court err in directing the veruict for the defendant?

It is the settled law in this state that on the question of primary negligence, where the evidence is such that reasonable men may fairly differ as to whether negligence is shown, the determination of such question is for the jury. It is only where the facts are such that all reasonable men musf draw the same conclusions from them that the question of negligence is considered as one of law for the court. Muskogee Vitrified Brick Co. v. Napier, 34 Okla. 618, 126 Pac. 792; St. L. & S. F. R. Co. v. Loftis, 25 Okla. 496, 106 Pac. 824; M., K. & T. Ry. Co. v. Shepherd, 20 Okla. 626, 95 Pac. 243; Neeley v. Southwestern C. O. Co„ 13 Okla. 358, 75 Pac. 537, 64 L. R. A. 145; Sans Bois Coal Co. v. Janeway, 22 Okla. 425, 99 Pac. 153; Mean v. Callson, 28 Okla. 737, 116 Pac. 195; Independent C. O. Co. v. Beacham, 31 Okla. 384, 120 Pac. 969.

And where, under the facts shown hy the evidence, although undisputed, reasonable men might draw different conclusions respecting the question of negligence, such questions are properly for the jury. Sans Bois Coal Co. v. Janeway, 22 Okla. 425, 99 Pac. 153; Texas Co. v. Robb, 88 Okla. 150, 212 Pac. 318.

After an examination of the record in this case, we think the minds of reasonable men might well differ on the question of whether or not the defendant was negligent, and that the question should have been determined by the jury.

The defendant in error has filed no brief, but we gather from the record that the evidence introduced by him was for the purpose of showing that the driver of the car in which the plaintiff was riding at the time of the accident was guilty of contributory negligence, and that this evidence was not disputed.

But the question of contributory negligence is under all circumstances a question of fact for the jury.

“Section 6 of article 23- of - the Constitution (.William’s Ann. Const. Okla. sec. 355), provides that: ‘The defense of contributory negligence or of assumption of risk, shall, in all cases whatsoever, be a question of fact, and shall, at-all times, be left to the jury,’ constitutes the jury the tribunal to determine these defenses.” Chicago, R. I. & P. Co. v. Hill, 36 Okla. 541, 129 Pac. 14.

We are of the opinion that there was sufficient evidence of negligence to take the case to the jury, and therefore the case should be reversed, and the cause remanded for a new trial.

By the Court: It is so ordered.
