DIXON, J., dissents, being of the opinion the driver of the left-turning car was negligent in turning left on the highway whether or not the fog obscured her vision.
CALOGERO, J., is of the opinion the writ should be granted. This guest passenger applicant is clearly entitled to recover from her host driver.
