DECISION ORDER
ORDERED that the order is affirmed, with costs.
In support of their motion for summary judgment, the plaintiffs submitted the examination before trial of the defendant Joseph N. Milford, wherein he stated that a school bus driven by the plaintiff Alande Millus hit the side of his vehicle while Milford was attempting to execute a right turn onto Christopher Street from the extreme left lane of Seventh Avenue South. Although it appears that Milford violated Vehicle and Traffic Law § 1160(a), the plaintiff driver failed to establish as a matter of law his freedom from comparative negligence (see, King v. Washburn, 273 A.D.2d 725).
Accordingly, summary judgment was properly denied.
RITTER, J.P., GOLDSTEIN, FRIEDMANN, FEUERSTEIN and CRANE, JJ., concur.
