In an outlying, sparsely settled area, Doe's car collided one evening with a car driven by Crane,resulting in damage to Crane's car. Crane was blameless. Doe had been driving at 30 miles per hourin an area where the traffic law prescribes a maximum speed of 15 miles per hour. Doe is prepared toshow that, in the area in question, this legal requirement is pretty universally ignored by motorists.

When Doe started out again, he forgot to turn on his lights. He soon ran into another car which,in the darkness, he had failed to see in time. The car thus hit belonged to Smith, who had negligentlyparked on the highway with his lights out and had gone to sleep in his car. In this accident, Doe'spassenger, Jones, suffered a deep cut from which she bled profusely.

Doe's car was heavily damaged and rendered inoperable. Smith's car was damaged but remainedoperable, although in testing it Smith reported that the brakes were "soft" and untrustworthy as a resultof the collision. No houses or other cars were in sight. After a hurried discussion, all three agreed that,despite the known condition of the brakes, it would be best to take Jones in Smith's car to the hospitalabout two miles down the road. On the way, the brakes failed, and in the resulting accident Jonessuffered a fracture and the car was further damaged.
