1. ““Principles are well established in the jurisprudence, as well as by statute, that a motorist, before turning from a direct line upon a highway, shall first see that such movement can be made in safety; that whenever the operation of any other vehicle may be affected by such movement, the motorist shall give a signal plainly visible to the drivers of such other vehicles of his intention to make the turn. Responsibility for ascertaining that a left turn across a highway can be safely made is placed upon the motorist attempting the maneuver. It is not sufficient that the motorist be content with merely holding out his hand or putting on his directional-signal indicator; he should look before turning to see that such movement can reasonably be made in safety.””
