Jury reasonably could have found that although defendant did not yield half of roadway, he did yield as much of roadway as was possible under the conditions presented; he therefore did not voluntarily cross into oncoming lane of travel and did not breach duty under statute, and thus was not negligent. 95 CA 300.
