Practice question
An unlit truck is negligently parked protruding into a night traffic lane. A foreseeable negligent approach leads to impact. Is the parked state alone enough to make it merely a noncausal condition?
- Yes, parked vehicles are always legally irrelevant
- Only if the driver left the engine off
- No, its dangerous placement can remain an efficient cause of the foreseeable collision
- Yes, because only moving conduct matters
- Only the truck’s brand matters
