““ ‘We have often said that questions of negligence and of contributory negligence are questions of fact for the jury and the court’s judgment thereon will not be disturbed on appeal where there is any competent evidence reasonably tending to support the same.’ Elam v. Loyd, 201 Okl. 222 , 204 P.2d 280, 281 .””
2 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. Hayes v. Kay · Irby v. Nulik““We have long adhered to the rule that although the violation of a statute may be a negligent act, the violation does not constitute ‘actionable negligence’ unless the injury complained of is the proximate result thereof and the person injured is a member of the class intended to be protected by the statute and injury is of the kind statute intended to prevent. Sinclair Prairie Oil Company v. Stell, 190 Okl. 344 , 124 P.2d 255 ; Champlin Refining Company v. Cooper, 184 Okl. 153 , 86 P.2d 61 .””
