“In Wells v. Bennett, 229 Miss. 135, 138 , 90 So.2d 199, 200 (1956), we quoted from Avent v. Tucker, 188 Miss. 207 , 194 So. 596 (1940) that: "It seems to be the idea of the writers of the briefs filed on behalf of the appellant in this case that the driver of an automobile having stopped at the intersection at the stop sign here 49 feet from the intersection has discharged his full duty to himself from suicide and to the traveling public on a through highway. We want to emphatically state that no opinion of this court has ever absolved the driver of a motor vehicle from exercising care and diligence when proceeding upon a crossing which is much traveled, and at which people are known to travel at a high rate of speed, and if there were no statute in force in this state, common sense would dictate that no driver of an automobile should enter upon an intersection of a much-traveled highway without first ascertaining before it is too late as to the safety of the venture." ( 195 So.2d at 89 .)”
