“ I have held, and will continue to hold, that the_ off-side rule does not apply to vehicles approaching each other, so long as it is clear that they are in the same street, because it would mean that neither of them was approaching an inter-section. They are simply approaching each other in the same street. If that rule were to apply it would mean that all traffic proceeding down on its proper side would have to give way to a vehicle which desired to turn in the road. In my view there is no rule at all which applies to a turn in the street The off-side rule does not in my view apply to traffic turning in the street in front of other traffic.”— His Honour Mr Justice Smith at Hamilton in the course of comments on the Cambridge collision case a few days ago.
