Question:
Dave Woodstock was hired to clean and deliver vehicles for EconoCar, a car rental agency. Although Dave drives very safely in his own vehicle, he tends to be rather careless when he is behind the wheel of one of his employer's vehicles. Not surprisingly, then, he was recently involved in an accident while driving a truck owned by EconoCar. Although that truck did not suffer any serious damage, the car that Dave crashed into requires $10 000 in repairs. Dave has admitted that he was at fault, but as he explained to his girlfriend, he was not worried. "What's the worst that could happen? I've already quit my job and found a new one. And obviously, EconoCar is on the hook for repairing the other guy's vehicle. I'm totally out of the picture." Is Dave correct? Explain your answer.
