Kennis was driving to university for her midday lecture in her car which she knew did not have operating headlights. On the way she was hit from behind while stationary at a red light. Her car was damaged and she suffered a broken foot. If Kennis sues the other driver what is the likely result?

A, She will not be able to recover anything. The Accident Compensation scheme will cover her medical expenses and because her headlights were not functional in breach of the Land Transport Act she has contributed to the cause of the accident.

B, The claim for the cost of the damage to her car will be reduced because she was contributorily negligent in driving her car without operating headlights and her claim for medical expenses will also be reduced

C, She will not succeed at all because by operating the car without functioning headlights she has voluntarily assumed the risk of an accident occurring.

D, She will be able to recover for the full costs of the damage to her car only.
