OPINION OF THE COURT

WlTMER, J.

Following a verdict of no cause for action in this action to recover damages for personal injuries, the trial court entered judgment dismissing the complaint. Plaintiff appeals, assigning reversible error to the court’s refusal to charge the jury, as requested, that if they should find that defendant violated *257section 417 of the Vehicle and Traffic Law and that such violation was a proximate cause of plaintiff’s injuries, they should render a verdict for plaintiff regardless of whether plaintiff was guilty of contributory negligence.
