AUTOMOBILES AND MOTOR VEHICLES, § 99.5 — proximate cause of accident. In nonjury action for personal injuries and property damages sustained in automobile accident occurring at night when plaintiffs' automobile made a left turn in front of defendant's oncoming automobile, judgments for plaintiffs on ground that sole contributory cause of accident was defendant's operation of his automobile without lights were affirmed as against contention that plaintiff driver was guilty of contributory negligence barring recovery because he failed to give a left turn signal as required by statute (Ill. Rev. Stats. 1947, ch. 95 1/2, pars. 162, 164, 166; Jones Ill. Stats. Ann. 85.194, 85.196, 85.198).
