Judge Baley
concurring in result.
In my view there is sufficient evidence of cause of death for submission to the jury, but the evidence does not meet the test for culpable negligence.
“On a charge of culpable negligence in the operation of a motor vehicle, resulting in death, conduct is not to be measured with precision instruments or weighed on golden scales.” State v. Hewitt, 263 N.C. 759, 763, 140 S.E. 2d 241; State v. Cope, 204 N.C. 28, 167 S.E. 456.
