I interject here that counsel made reference to evidence that was before the adjudicator that the driver of the van had gestured to the respondent to go ahead and make her left turn onto Barrington Street. The adjudicator did not mention this in his Summary Report but even if such a finding of fact had been made, it would not assist the respondent. The duty to see that a left turn, onto or from a highway, can be made in safety cannot be delegated to some other driver, but rather remains on the driver making the turn (see, for example, Baxter v. Zinck (1987) 76 N.S.R. (2d) 376).
