HERRMANN, Justice.

This is an automobile negligence case in which the jury returned a verdict for the plaintiffs. The main ground of the appeal is that the Trial Court erred in declining to hold that the plaintiff Louis Merlonghi (hereinafter "plaintiff") was guilty of contributory negligence as a matter of law in that he failed to keep a proper lookout and violated the right-of-way statute, 21 Del.C. § 4131(b)*.
