1. “"The settled jurisprudence of this state is to the effect that a motorist, driving at a reasonable rate of speed on a right of way street, has a right to assume that a driver approaching the intersection from a less favored street, governed by a stop sign, will yield the right of way by bringing his car to a complete stop before entering the intersection. He may indulge in this assumption until he sees, or should see, that the other driver has not observed, or is not going to observe, the law. See Henderson v. Central Mutual Insurance Company, 238 La. 250 , 115 So.2d 339 (1959) and Youngblood v. Robison, 239 La. 338 , 118 So.2d 431 , 2 A.L.R.3d 1 (1960)."”
