[27 N.Y.2d 74 Page 75] After consuming four martinis during the evening of November 18, 1966, petitioner, while driving his motor vehicle, was

prior to the accident and failed to see a vehicle which had backed out of the drive and had already moved forward about 15
feet and which was directly in his path."
