The giving of the statutorily required turn signal is not enough; one must exercise reasonable care under all the circumstances. Huntwork v. Voss, 247 Neb. 184, 525 N.W.2d 632 (1995).
A driver is charged with exercising due diligence to determine whether it is safe to turn left on a roadway. Mitchell v. Kesting, 221 Neb. 506, 378 N.W.2d 188 (1985).
