Pannell, Judge,
concurring specially. I cannot agree that the failure on the part of the plaintiff to allege the existence of all the requirements of Art. IX, § 73 of the Act of 1953 approved January 11, 1954 (Ga. L. 1953, Nov. Sess., pp. 556, 590; Code Ann. § 68-1651), necessary to entitle plaintiff to the right of way when making a left turn at an intersection, precludes a recovery as a matter of law under the facts of the present case. I agree, however, that the failure of the plaintiff to look for oncoming traffic before making a left turn at the intersection does bar his recovery, and for this latter reason only I concur in the judgment affirming the trial judge in sustaining the general demurrer to the petition.
