AUTOMOBILES AND MOTOR VEHICLES, § 117.3 — evidence sustaining verdict for motorcycle rider injured as result of unsignalled sudden stopping of cab making left turn. In action for personal injuries sustained as result of fact that motorcycle, which plaintiff, in nighttime, was riding northward on city street, on which traffic was heavy, struck defendants' cab, which came from north on same street and which defendant driver, in making left turn at busy street intersection for purpose of picking up intending passenger, stopped suddenly without giving any warning of his intent so to do, held that there was no merit in defendants' contention that verdict for plaintiff was against manifest weight of evidence (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1943, ch. 95 1/2, pars. 162, 166; Jones Ill. Stats. Ann. 85.194, 85.198).
