(dissenting). We disagree with the majority’s determination. There is no reasonable view of the evidence that can support a determination that defendant was not negligent and that his negligence was not a proximate cause of this accident. Thus, Supreme Court erred in not granting plaintiffs’ motion to set aside the verdict and grant judgment notwithstanding the verdict (see, CPLR 4404 [a]).
There is no dispute about the facts. This was a daytime accident during conditions that were less than favorable because of fog. The majority fails to disclose that on a motion prior to trial plaintiffs were granted summary judgment determining that plaintiff Thomas J. Fraher, Jr. (plaintiff) was not negligent in any manner in regard to the happening of this accident. Plaintiff had the right-of-way and was not required to anticipate that a vehicle headed in the opposite direction *797would cross over into his lane of traffic (Gouchie v Gill, 198 AD2d 862 [decided herewith]; Palmer v Palmer, 31 AD2d 876, 877, affd 27 NY2d 945). Because plaintiff was not negligent, as a matter of law, it belies logic for the majority to base their conclusion on the fact that "defendant took reasonable precautions and that he could not reasonably have anticipated that someone would drive through fog at such a rate of speed without headlights on.” Plaintiff was proceeding within the speed limit during daylight. Furthermore, defendant admitted making a left-hand turn into plaintiff’s lane of traffic when he was unable to see if it was safe to proceed. It is obvious that it was not safe to proceed, because as soon as defendant put his vehicle into that opposite lane, the collision occurred. Therefore, "there is simply no valid line of reasoning and permissible inferences which could possibly lead * * * to the conclusion reached by the jury” (Cohen v Hallmark Cards, 45 NY2d 493, 499).
