Practice point: Vehicle and Traffic Law § 1141 provides, in pertinent part, that "[t]he driver of a vehicle intending to turn to the left within an intersection . . . shall yield the right of way to any vehicle approaching from the opposite direction which is within the intersection or so close as to constitute an immediate hazard." A violation of this statute constitutes negligence per se.
