Practice question
A junior-race organizer cannot obtain permission to block a highway. It argues that this limitation makes collision risk legally unforeseeable, even though it knows traffic will continue and can choose another route. Resolve under Abrogar.
- The known limitation highlights the traffic hazard rather than making it unforeseeable
- A denied closure request guarantees traffic safety
- Every permit limitation is automatic immunity
- The organizer’s route choice can never matter
- A known danger becomes unforeseeable once mentioned to police
