Bren Carrier- Supreme Court of Canada decision

[Lynn Eades]

Hi Robert. interesting, but me not being good with "legalese", I had some difficulty.
Three comments to wind up the spring;
1. Over here, we are required under the law, "We must be able to stop in half the clear distance". This is a good law. It puts the onus on the driver. Based on this premis:
2. The carrier (8 tons of it! ????Ha! Ha!) was stopped,(momentarily) and the ambulance ran into the carrier. :-) The carrier driver was travelling too fast, but so was the Ambulance driver. Both displayed degrees of negligence.(Evidence stated the ambulance was travelling at twice the speed of the carrier, but the carrier was safer in those conditions)
3. The first case failed to find the "Crown" in the wrong, because the "Crown" was covering it's own backside (don't lawyers swear allegiance to the Crown"?

That successfully wasted some time!
