A woman was jogging along a jogging path. Suddenly, a driver pulled out of an alley perpendicular to the jogging path and failed to stop at a stop sign. He hit her with his car, injuring her. The woman sued the driver. A city code provided that drivers must stop at all stop signs perpendicular to the jogging path.
On the basis of which standard of care will the driver be judged?
A) Strict liability, because an automobile is an inherently dangerous instrument.
B) That of a reasonable and prudent person under the facts of this situation.
C) The standard set by the city code.
D) The doctrine of res ipsa loquitur, because it can be presumed that nobody would fail to stop at a stop sign in the absence of negligence.
Answer:
C). The standard set by the city code.
Explanation:
As per the given descriptions, the driver will be judged on the basis of 'the standard norms set under the city regulations.' Since the city code clearly declares that the drivers are required to stop at every signboard of stop, the driver will be charged under the violation of the city code that also led to the injury of the woman. The verdict will be given on the basis of the common regulations of the city and the respective punishments for the violations or breaches of different laws under these codes. Thus, option C is the correct answer.
