In the case of *Humes v. Fritz*, the court upheld the "duty to see" instruction, emphasizing that individuals must use ordinary care to observe their surroundings. This legal principle, rooted in *Washington Pattern Instruction* 12.06, played a pivotal role in determining whether the truck driver, Crowder, should have exited his vehicle to ensure safety. The court's decision underscores the importance of perception and responsibility in negligence cases.
