JOHNSON, Justice,
dissenting.
I dissent from the Court’s opinion. If we were writing on a clean slate concerning the proper interpretation of I.C. § 39-4303, I would agree with the view expressed by the majority. However, in my view, the interpretation of this statute set forth in Rook v. Trout, 113 Idaho 652, 747 P.2d 61 (1987) is a permissible interpretation, and this recent decision should not be overruled.
I would reverse and remand for a new trial on the ground that the instructions of the trial court were in error.
