How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• finding that a signal by a motor vehicle operator to a pedestrian is nothing more than a statement meaning “to move on.”
• finding that pedestrian did not rely on hand gesture where evidence showed that pedestrian passed safely in front of the defendant’s vehicle, paused, and then attempted, unsuccessfully, to cross the next lane
• reversing the trial court’s judgment against a signaling driver and holding, as a matter of law, that the signaling driver was not negligent based upon finding that the only reasonable interpretation of the signal was that the signaling driver wished the signaled pedestrian to “move on”
• no duty to adult to assure safe passage across remainder of four-lane highway
