The duties imposed by these-particular statutes are not. absolute, they are conditional. They do not dispense with the necessity of a finding of fact. as- to whether the conduct of a motorist was negligent under the circumstances.””
3 later decisions quote this exact passage“We do not agree with appellants that the jury's answers to issue A amounted to a finding that Mrs. Baker had violated the named statute, or that she was for that reason guilty of negligence per se.”
