Durga, 189 Ga. App. 733, 377 S.E.2d 33 (1988) (decided under former O.C.G.A. § 24-2-2).   Not habit evidence.    - Testimony about the defendant's prior driving on the curve in question was not habit evidence. Evans-Glodowski v. State, 335 Ga. App. 484, 781 S.E.2d 591 (2016).   Business's routine practice may be admissible.    - In a dispute over a storage facility's storage of a customer's seed, in which the facility sought to bind the customer to limitations printed on the reverse of the facility's warehouse receipts, the trial court erred by concluding that evidence that the facility routinely mailed warehouse receipts to the facility's customers was sufficient to bind the customer as a matter of law; because the customer denied receiving the receipts, the customer's assent was a question for the jury. Turfgrass Group v. Ga. Cold Storage Co., 346 Ga. App. 659, 816 S.E.2d 716 (2018).
