Brunette v. Dade
Wisconsin Supreme Court

1Opinion of the CourtGordon, J.
Right-oj-Way.
The trial court determined that Mr. Brunette was causally negligent as a matter of law in failing to yield the right-of-way. Upon this appeal, it is pointed out that when Mrs. Dade approached the intersection she came to a complete stop. It is urged that this act constituted a waiver of her right-of-way. It is not contended that her coming to a stop transferred her right-of-way to Mr. Brunette; the appellants acknowledged that right-of-way, being wholly statutory, cannot be transferred from one driver to a competing driver.
