This is a damage suit brought by Jessie Guidry, as plaintiff, against Airline Motor Coaches, Inc., Dixie Motor Coach Corporation, C. P. Bordages and wife, Lucie Marie Bordages, as defendants. Plaintiff’s injuries were alleged to have arisen from a collision between the automobile in which plaintiff was riding, owned by C. P. Bor-dages and driven by Mrs. Lucee Marie Bordages, and a bus owned and operated by Airline Motor Coaches, Inc. Dixie Motor Coach Corporation was alleged to have purchased the business of Airline Motor Coaches, Inc., after the date of the accident. Plaintiff alleged negligence upon the part of the Airline Motor Coaches’ driver and also upon the part of Mrs. Bordages, who was alleged to have been driving the automobile in the furtherance of the business of her husband and herself.
Mr. and Mrs. Bordages brought a cross action against Airline Motor Coaches, Inc., and Dixie Motor Coach Corporation for their damages and, likewise, Airline Motor Coaches, Inc., 'and Dixie Motor Coach Corporation brought an action over against Mr. and Mrs. Bordages for indemnity or contribution.
The jury found the Airline driver guilty of negligence, proximately causing the collision, and also found Mrs. Bordages guilty of negligence; proximately causing the collision. The court, however, entered judgment in accordance with the motion for judgment non obstante veredicto’ of Mr. and Mrs. Bordages, disregarding the jury-findings of negligence on the part of Mrs. Bordages, proximately causing the collision, awarding plaintiff recovery of $6,000.-00 against Airline Motor Coaches, Inc., and Dixie Motor Coach Corporation, and awarding Mr. and Mrs. Bordages $4,238.25 against Airline Motor Coaches, Inc., and Dixie Motor Coach Corporation. Under the judgment plaintiff recovered nothing from Mr. and Mrs. Bordages and, likewise, Airline Motor Coaches, Inc., and Dixie Motor Coach Corporation were allowed no recovery against Mr. and Mrs. Bordages. Thus, there was a total judgment against appellants, Airline Motor Coaches, Inc., and Dixie Motor Coach Corporation of $10,238.25, plus interest and costs.
After motion for new trial was overruled, appellants duly perfected their appeal to this court.
This cause was submitted to the jury on special issues in the usual manner, and in *205answer to such special issues the jury found that the appellant was guilty of the following acts of negligence, each of which was the proximate cause of the collision; that the operator of the bus failed to keep a proper lookout for the automobile driven by Mrs. Bordages; that he was driving said bus at an excessive rate of speed; that it was negligence to drive said bus on the left-hand side of the highway; that he failed to sound an audible signal of his intention to pass the automobile driven by Mrs. Bordages; that he was negligent in attempting to pass the automobile driven by Mrs. Bordages at the time and place in question; that it was negligent in failing to see the dash stripe along the center of the highway. In answer to the issues relative to the alleged acts of negligence on the part of the appellee Mrs. Bordages, the jury refused to find that Mrs. Bordages failed to keep a proper lookout for the bus at the time and on the occasion in question; they refused to find that she turned suddenly in front of the bus at the time and on the occasion in question; they found that Mrs. Bordages failed to give adequate or sufficient signal of her intention to turn at the time and on the occasion in question; that she failed to exercise ordinary care in not giving adequate and ordinary signal of her intention to turn and that such failure was a proximate cause, or contributed to the cause, of the collision in question. They refused to find that Mrs. Bordages failed to look to see if any other vehicle would be affected by changing the course of •her automobile at the time and on the occasion in question; they refused to find that Mrs. Bordages failed to give a visible signal of her intention to turn at the time and on the occasion in question; that the manner in which Mrs. Bordages operated her automobile at the time and on the occasion in question was not the sole proximate cause of the collision in question. As to the alleged negligence of the appellee Jessie Guidry, the jury refused to find that Jessie Guidry failed to exercise ordinary care in not warning Mrs. Bordages of the presence of the bus on the highway prior to the collision in question, and further found that the collision in question was not the result of an unavoidable accident.
Thereafter, Jessie Guidry filed a motion for judgment on the verdict and C. P. Bordages and wife duly and timely filed their motion for judgment on such verdict and in the alternative their motion non obstante veredicto. The trial court overruled the motion of C. P. Bordages and wife for judgment on the verdict and granted their motion for judgment non obstante veredicto, disregarding the findings in response to Special Issues Nos. 26, 27 and 28 of the court’s charge. Appellee Jessie Guidry’s motion for judgment on the verdict was granted as against Airline Motor Coaches, Inc., and Dixie Motor Coach Corporation, but was denied as against C. P. Bordages and wife, Lucie Marie Bordages.
Appellees Bordages’ motion for judgment non obstante veredicto fully sets out the reason why the trial court should disregard the findings by the jury to Special Issues Nos. 26, 27 and 28 and sets out their contention in this court in support of the trial court’s action in disregarding these findings. For that reason paragraphs 1 to 7, inclusive, of said motion will be set out haec verba:
1.
“That the jury in response to special issues submitted by the court, and particularly Special Issues Nos. 3 through 20, of the court’s charge, found that the operator of the Airline Motor Coaches bus on the occasion in question failed to keep a proper lookout, drove said bus at an excessive and negligent rate of speed, was driving said bus on the left hand side of the highway, which was negligence, and negligently failed to sound an audible signal before attempting to pass the automobile driven by Mrs. Bordages and was negligent in attempting to pass Mrs. Bordages at the time and place in question and was negligent in failing to see the dash stripes along the center of the highway and the jury further found that each and all of said acts and negligence proximately caused said collision, and in response to Special Issue No. 39 of the court’s charge assessed damages in favor of cross plaintiffs in the *206sum of Thirty-five Hundred ($3500.00) Dollars.
2.
“Third party defendants and' cross plaintiffs further shows unto the court that in response to Special Issues Nos. 26, 27 and 28, of the court’s charge the jury found that Mrs. Bordages failed to give a sufficient signal of her intention to turn, and that she failed to exercise ordinary care in not giving an adequate or sufficient signal of her intention to turn, and that such failure to exercise ordinary care proximately caused or contributed to cause said collision. Said jury further found in response to Special Issue No. 31 that Mrs. Bordages did not fail to give a plainly visible signal of her intention to turn at the time and on the occasion in question.
3.
“Third party defendants and cross plaintiffs further show to the court that the findings of the jury in response to Special Issues Nos. 26, 27 and 28, should be set aside and disregarded in that under the provisions of the applicable law Mrs. Bor-dages was only required to give a plainly visible signal of her intention to turn and that she was under no obligation to give any other character of signal. That the Legislature having entered the field and having provided by Section (K) of Article 801 of the Penal Code that the operator of a vehicle should give a plainly visible signal, that such constituted the full duty owed by Mrs. Bordages on the occasion in question and that in response to Special Issue No. 31 the jury found that she did not fail to give the statutory signal. As a matter of law, there being no obligation to give any other character of signal, the jury’s answers to Special Issues Nos. 26, 27 and 28, should be set aside and disregarded, there being no obligation to give such a signal as inquired about, and the jury findings attempting to place upon Mrs. Bordages a different obligation than as prescribed by statute, are wholly unsupported by the evidence or the law applicable to this case.
4.
“Third party defendants and cross plaintiffs further show to the court that the specific finding of the jury in response to Special Issue No. 31 relative to statutory obligation is controlling over the general and indefinite finding of the jury given in response to Special Issues Nos. 26, 27 and 28, with reference to a sufficient signal, and for this additional reason such indefinite findings with reference to the purely relative matter of a sufficient signal should be set aside and disregarded, and that controlling effect should be given to the specific findings submitting the statutory duty with reference to giving a plainly visible signal. That as a matter of law the only signal required was a plainly visible signal and the jury was not at liberty to hold that a plainly visible signal was not sufficient.
5.
“Third party defendants and cross plaintiffs further show to the court that the jury’s answer to Special Issue No. 28, should be set aside and disregarded in that under the evidence the failure to give such a signal, if any, could not have been a proximate cause of the collision in question, since said jury found in response to Special Issue No. 31 that Mrs. Bordages did not fail to give a plainly visible signal, and the jury having further found in response to Special Issues Nos. 3, 4 and 5 that the driver of said bus failed to keep a proper lookout for the automobile driven by Mrs. Bordages, and such failure was negligence and a proximate cause of the collision.
6.
“There being no duty on the part of Mrs. Bordages to give other than a plainly visible or audible signal, the jury findings in response to Special Issues Nos. 26, 27 and 28 should be set aside and disregarded, in that such issues placed upon Mrs. Bordages the duty of giving some different signal than required by law, and the Legislature having entered the field and prescribed what character of signal should be given, and the jury having found that she did not fail to give the *207statutory signal, the findings in response to Special Issues Nos. 26, 27 and 28, attempt to impose a different duty than provided by statute, and as a matter of law the failure to give any other or additional signal could not constitute negligence or a proximate cause of said collision.
7.
“Third party defendants and cross plaintiffs further show unto the court that the jury findings in response to Special Issues Nos. 26, 27 and 28, should be set aside and disregarded in order to avoid a conflict with the specific finding made in response to Special Issue No. 31.”
Appellants’ first two points complain of the action of the trial court in disregarding the findings of the jury in response to Special Issues Nos. 26, 27 and 28, and allowing the appellees, C. P. Bordages and wife, to recover judgment against appellants and denying appellants indemnity and contribution from them. Appellants contend that the jury, in their findings to Special Issues 26, 27 and 28, found that Mrs. Bordages failed to give adequate or sufficient signal of her intention to turn before the collision in question and that such failure was a failure to exercise ordinary care, and that it proximately caused or contributed to the cause of the collision in question; that in view of such findings the judgment in favor of the .appellee Jessie Guidry should have been entered jointly and severally against C. P. Bordages and his wife as well as against appellants, Airline . Motor Coaches, Inc., and Dixie Motor Coach Corporation, and that judgment should not have been allowed in favor of Mr. and Mrs. Bordages .against the appellants.
This accident occurred while Mrs. Bordages was driving her automobile in a northerly direction from the City of Beaumont on what is referred to as the Voth Road or the extension of 11th Street. The place of the accident was some two • or three miles outside of the city limits of Beaumont. Mrs. Bordages was driving out to a place she arid her husband were having remodeled and for the purpose of carrying Jessie Guidry, the appellee, who was engaged in doing the remodeling work for the Bordages. He was a colored carpenter and under the arrangements he had with the Bordages they were to carry him to his place of work each morning. On the morning of the accident, Mar. 12, 1946, ■ Mrs. Bordages was proceeding northward on said highway with Jessie Guidry and two dogs riding in the back seat and Mrs.' Bordages and a pet goat riding in the front seat. The location of her place where Guidry was working was on the west or left-hand side of the highway in the direction she was traveling. Mrs. Bordages, who was driving the automobile, testified that her place and the place where she undertook to make a left-hand turn off the road was in a curve of the road. With reference to giving a signal of her intention to turn the course of her automobile she testified as follows: “Q. Tell the court just exactly what you did? A. Well, I rolled the window down to give my turning signal. I had looked back and there wasn’t anything coming and then it was cold and I rolled the window back up before I made my turn.” • The testimony is rather vague and uncertain as to just when or how far from the point where Mrs. Bordages turned her automobile to the left she was when the signal of her intention to turn was given. It was estimated by Guidry as being “about 100 feet, a good distance.” The speed of ■ her automobile just before she undertook to make the turn was estimated by Guidry to be about twenty-five miles per hour until she slowed down to make the turn. The evidence shows that the signal given by Mrs. Bordages was by extending her arm and hand in a horizontal position to her left. The driver of the bus, which was in collision with the Bordages car, testified that he did not see any signal of any kind given by Mrs. Bordages. For how long her arm remained in that position is not shown. Evidently, • judging from the speed of the automobile, it must have been withdrawn into the vehicle some little distance • from the point where she undertook to make .the turn for the reason that she had sufficient time after withdrawing her arm into the automobile to raise the window of the *208automobile before she began to make the turn. Just how far her automobile traveled after she had withdrawn her arm from the horizontal position is more or less speculation, However, it must have been for some appreciable distance and, as stated before, the length of time she extended her arm is left purely to speculation. We are-of the opinion that this evidence justified the jury in believing that Mrs. Bordages had extended her arm as a signal of her intention to change the course of her vehicle, and that it was visible, but was of the opinion either that she did not extend her arm for an adequate length of time to give a reasonable warning of her intention to turn the course of her vehicle or again they might have believed, and would have been justified in believing, that at the time and place the signal was given was not sufficient or adequate to give notice of her intention to change the course of her vehicle at this particular place. It might be added that the place where she undertook to turn to her left from her right-hand side of the highway was a private entrance to her property. It was neither a street nor a road intersection, and judging from photographs in evidence was hardly noticeable unless attention is expressly called to same. In passing, we note the present statute governing the giving of signal of intention to change the course of an automobile (which was not in effect on the date of this accident) provides in Art. 6701d, § 68, Subsec. (b), Vernon’s Ann. Civ.St., as follows: “A signal of intention to turn right or left when required shall be given continuously during not less than the last one hundred (100) feet traveled by the vehicle before turning.” It is common knowledge that the public in securing drivers’ licenses since this statute took effect in the latter part of 1947 has been educated and required to learn the rules of the road, including this portion of the statute. This is the first time the Legislature has gone into details as to when and for what period of time such signal should be visible. We cannot agree with ap-pellee Bordages’ contention that since Mrs. Bordages complied with the criminal statute, Art. 801 (K), Texas Penal Code, which reads as follows: “(K) The person in charge of any vehicle upon any public highway before turning, stopping or changing the course of such vehicle shall see first that there is sufficient space for such movement to be made in safety, and if the movement or operation of other vehicles may reasonably be affected by such turning, stopping or changing of course, shall give plainly visible or audible signal to the person operating, driving or in charge of such vehicle of his intentions so to turn, stop or change said course”; that the jury was unauthorized to say that the signal given was insufficient and inadequate. 42 C.J., Sec. 583, pg. 883, 60 C.J.S., Motor Vehicles, § 248, lays down the rule as follows: “Statutory requirements with respect to the operation of motor vehicles do not abrogate the common-law duties of the owners or operators thereof with respect to persons or property on the highways, but prescribe rules of conduct in addition to, or in excess of, common-law requirements, and a lack of ordinary-car e is not excused by the circumstance that all expressed statutory requirements, have been complied with.” See, also,. McMath v. Staten, Tex.Civ.App., 60 S.W. 290; Morrison v. Antwine, Tex.Civ.App., 51 S.W.2d 820; Bailey v. Walker, Tex.Civ.App., 163 S.W.2d 864.
It follows from what we have said' that there is no conflict between the findings, to Special Issue 31 and Special Issues Nos. 26, 27 and 28, and that we are of the opinion that the trial court was not authorized to-disregard the findings of the jury to-Special Issues Nos. 26, 27 and 28 and. enter judgment for the appellees, C. P. Bordages and wife, and refuse to enter judgment in favor of the appellee Guidry jointly and severally against the several-appellants. We therefore sustain appellants’ Points 1 and 2.
Appellants’ Point No. 3 complains-of the form of Special Issue No. 40 in that said submission failed to restrict the damages for future mental pa'in to-such mental pain as in reasonable prob*209ability would be suffered by plaintiff in the future. Issue No. 40 to which this complaint is made reads as follows:
“From a preponderance of the evidence, what sum of money, if any, paid now in cash would reasonably and fairly compensate the plaintiff, Jessie Guidry, for the diminished earning capacity, if any, to labor and earn money in the past, if there has been any in the past, and in the future, if there will be any in the future, and for physical pain, if any, in the past, if there has been any in the past, and in the future, if there will be any in the future, and for mental pain, if any, in the past, if there has been any in the past, and in the future, if there will be any in the future, directly and proximately caused, if you have so found, by the injuries, if any, sustained, if any, by Jessie Guidry in the collision in question?
“You will consider no elements or matters of damages not alleged in plaintiff’s pleading and not established by a preponderance of the evidence.
“You will answer the foregoing issue by stating the amount, if any, in dollars and cents, as you may find from a preponderance of the evidence, if any, but if you find that Jessie Guidry sustained no damages, then you will answer ‘None’ ”. In support of this point the appellants rely on many cases, including the case of Wichita Transit Co. v. Sanders, 214 S.W.2d 810 by the Court of Civil Appeals of Amarillo, which without any doubt supports appellants’ contention. Many other cases are cited pro and con where charges have used the word “may” which has been condemned by many courts as being speculative, and as allowing the jury to deal with possibilities instead of probabilities in awarding damages for future pain and suffering. In the case of Fisher v. Coastal Transport Co., Tex.Sup., 230 S.W.2d 522, 523, which was recently before the Supreme Court, that court held that in a suit for personal injuries, submission of special issues to the jury for the amount of damages that would compensate injured plaintiff for physical and mental suffering “that he may have to undergo in the future as a direct and proximate result of the explosion in question”, which did not include the test of “reasonable probability”, was error. It will also be noted that in making this holding the Supreme' Court cited the case of Wichita Transit Co. v. Sanders, supra. However, the question as here presented was not in the case of Fisher v. Coastal Transport Co., supra. There the word ‘“may” was used and here the word “will” was used, which to our minds is a more restricted charge upon the plaintiff’s right to recover for future pain and suffering than would be the term “may in reasonable probability suffer.” The word “will” has been defined as an auxiliary verb commonly having the mandatory sense of shall or must. It is a word of certainty while the word “may” is one of speculation and uncertainty. See Black’s Law Dictionary. We do not want to be understood as condemning the phrase “may in reasonable probability” when used in connection with future pain and suffering. We think this phrase clearly presents the law and is more favorable to the plaintiff than a charge which provides that a jury will only consider such future pain and suffering as the plaintiff “will” suffer. We can easily see how a plaintiff would have a right to complain of a charge which limited his recovery for future pain and suffering to such as the jury might believe from the preponderance of the evidence that he “will” suffer. To our minds this is much more restrictive on the plaintiff’s right to recover as the jury is required to find in fact and not a reasonable probability that he will suffer. We realize that this is a close point and we have given it our serious consideration, and even though the Supreme Court has cited the case of Wichita Transit Co. v Sanders, supra, apparently as supporting the conclusion reached by them in the Fisher v. Coastal Transport Company case, supra, yet we cannot and will not say that the charge given in this case or the charge given in the Wichita Transit Co. v. Sanders case is error unless and until the Supreme Court directly condemns it as being speculative and permits a jury to wander at will into the realm of possibilities. It *210follows that appellants’ Point No. 3 is overruled. The judgment awarding the appellees, C. P. Bordages and wife, Lucie Marie Bordages, damages is reversed and judgment is here entered that they take nothing, and that the judgment awarding Jessie Guidry damages against Airline Motor Coaches, Inc., and Dixie Motor Coach Corporation be reformed so as to award the appellee Jessie Guidry judgment for his damages against Airline Motor Coaches, Inc., and Dixie Motor Coach Corporation and C. P. Bordages and wife, Lucie Marie Bordages, jointly and severally. It will be further ordered that the appellants pay one-half of the costs incurred in this appeal and that the appellees C. P. Bor-dages and wife, Lucie Marie Bordages, pay one-half.
