1. “Restated, the statute manifests “the intention of the legislature to prohibit a car from being on the left hand side of the road undertaking to pass another car going in the same direction while within 100 feet of any hazards. The entire statute puts emphasis upon the prohibiting of overtaking and passing another car headed in the same direction except at a safe distance from places where hazards and dangers might be anticipated.” (Emphasis supplied.) Rayborn v. Freeman (Miss. 1968), 209 So.2d 193, 199 . Accord: Young v. Blue Line Storage Co. (1950), 242 Iowa 125 , 44 N.W.2d 391 ; and American Products Co. v. Villwock (1941), 7 Wash.2d 246 , 109 P.2d 570 . In our view, appellee’s vehicle was to the left of center at his own risk and in a position of hazard to appellant who, on this record, was either stopped short of the highway or was lawfully using the intersection and the eastern half of the roadway. On the other hand, appellee was negligent as a matter of law at the time of the collision and the claim that the intersection was unmarked and unnoticeable was unavailable to him. Chambers v. McFerren (1959), 168 Ohio St. 398 , paragraph three of the syllabus, 155 N.E.2d 917 .”
