2. The parties' assertion
A. As the instant accident occurred at the wind to overtake the Plaintiff’s vehicle beyond the central line even though the Plaintiff’s alleged driver tried to turn to the left at the said intersection, the instant accident entirely occurred due to the negligence of the Defendant’s driver.
B. The Plaintiff’s driver’s negligence is 80% since the instant accident occurred, which conflicts with the Defendant’s vehicle that had been normally driven at one-lane from the wind where the Plaintiff’s vehicle, which was under the Defendant’s argument stopping, voluntarily left the left.
3. Determination
A. The following circumstances acknowledged by the above facts and the evidence revealed earlier, i.e., ① in the event of a change of course, should be examined as to whether the change of course could interfere with the normal passage of the vehicle in the direction of the change (Article 19(3) of the Road Traffic Act), but the driver of the Plaintiff’s vehicle neglected to do so and left the left, and ② in the case of overtaking.
