A driver is travelling at 35 mph in a 30 mph zone on a wet evening. A pedestrian steps out from behind a parked car and the driver is unable to stop in time, colliding with the pedestrian. The pedestrian suffers a broken leg. The driver argues that the pedestrian was partly to blame for stepping out unexpectedly. At trial, the issue arises as to whether the driver's speed constituted a breach of the duty of care owed to other road users.
