AUTOMOBILES.

(50 Re) A, while driving an automobile south on the right hand side of the paved portion of a highway in the country, approached a truck being driven north in the center of the paved portion of said highway; there was no other traffic and the pavement was wide enough for the vehicles to pass thereon if each driver observed the rules of the road; A saw the position of the truck, and by turning sooner than he did to the right, and partially off the pavement, could have avoided the collision which ensued. Held, that A was not guilty of negligence as a matter of law in failing to sooner yield his portion of the pavement to the truck.

(Pardee, PJ., and Funk, J., concur.)
