Practice question
A pedestrian wears a bright shirt instead of a preferred uniform. The court finds that choice wholly unrelated to the collision and identifies no negligent contribution from it. The driver asks for a reduction solely because the choice was unusual. What is correct?
- An unrelated unusual choice does not establish contributory negligence causing the injury.
- Every unusual choice requires a fifty-percent reduction.
- The plaintiff must obey every private preference of the driver.
- Clothing always determines collision liability.
- The driver need prove no causal connection.
