Levin, J.
(dissenting). The instruction was, in my opinion, erroneous in permitting the jury— *92even if it was satisfied that the cyclist was not negligent at the time of the accident — to infer that he was negligent solely on the basis that, because he did not have a license, he may not have had the skills to obtain a license. .Whether the cyclist had the requisite skills or not, if he in fact operated the motorcycle with due care the jury could not properly find that he was negligent, and the instruction should not have permitted the jury to find that he was negligent.
Archer, J., concurred with Levin, J.
