The court dismissed the plaintiff's claim for damages following a collision while turning a tram into a designated turning area.

Consequently, the court ruled the plaintiff assumed the risk of the accident.

A oli kuljettaessaan Helsingin kaupungin liikennelaitokselle kuuluvaa raitiovaunua Hämeentietä kääntynyt vasemmalle Hämeentie 125:n kohdalla olevalle raitiovaunujen kääntymispaikalle.

Kääntymispaikkaa pidettiin pysäköintipaikkaan verrattavana tien ulkopuolisena alueena, jolle kääntyvän oli väistettävä jokaista muuta tiellä kulkevaa.
