1) Read
all of the Units and if
you find any Nonsense Sentences (e.g. "Stop
for ants and pedestrians in crosswalks."), write
them on scrap paper that you can refer to later.
2)
Determine the X-Fact for all
of the Units and print 3 words
on line X09 of the sheet to help you remember that fact.
3)
Ensure you are
prepared to look at your X09 words during a Class and express
your X-Fact in a way that everyone understands.
Unit 1001:
Hill v. R (1975) Appellant was driving behind a taxi which stopped
for a red light. On the green light the taxi began to make a right
turn but stopped suddenly in order to avoid a pedestrian in a crosswalk
and the appellant's vehicle then touched the rear of the taxi. There
was a pause of two or three seconds and then the taxi pulled over
to the right of the street, which curved, and out of sight of appellant
who, believing that no damage had occurred as a result of the touching,
continued to drive to her home. It was subsequently shown that there
was a dent in the rear bumper of the taxi and the appellant was
charged with leaving the scene of a crash. The convicting Justice
found that in order to convict it was not necessary for the appellant
to have had knowledge that damage occurred as a result of the touching
of the two vehicles.
Unit 1002:
McDowell v. Barry (1985) A T-junction of two streets is an intersection.
When a driver parks on such a street and poses to other road users
an obstacle which obstructs vision and presents a danger to such
users, the driver may be held liable for injury suffered by such
users.
