Answer to Question 1

Formerly, if the driver who sues negligently contributed even slightly to the accident, no recovery could be had. This harsh rule has been replaced in most states by the last clear chance rule. The last chance clear rule states that if one driver is negligent, but the other driver had one last clear chance to avoid hitting the negligent driver and did not take it, the driver who had the last clear chance is liable.

Answer to Question 2

B
