Use legislation (and any relevant case law) to answer questions 4. Do not use common law and/or equitable principles. one afternoon, Pierre is on his way to complete a delivery. However, there are roadworks causing long delays. Pierre tries to search for an alternative route on his phone whilst driving. Jean, who is riding her bicycle in the adjacent bicycle lane but was distracted by the beautiful silver Porsche in another lane, veers in front of Pierre's car. Although Pierre was driving at the speed limit, and applied the brakes immediately, he was still unable to avoid hitting Jean. Pierre was busy searching for an alternative route on his phone and did not see Jean veering into his lane. Jean sustains several injuries including broken bones and cuts, and her bicycle is destroyed.

Jean wants to sue Pierre, as she claims he was driving negligently.
