After a long school day, Brianna gets on her bike to ride home. She does not have her helmet on because she forgot to bring it w
ith her for the day. Brianna gets to the intersection by the school and presses the walk button. She waits until the sign across the road tells her to walk and
begins to pedal across. At the same time, a woman is driving into the intersection. The sun is setting so low in the sky that the woman is having a
hard time seeing the stoplight. As she drives through the intersection, she hits Brianna, Brianna's head hits the pavement, immediately causing
her death. The woman who hits Brianna is distraught but so is Brianna's family. The woman ran a red light! What motive would the woman
MOST likely offer to explain her actions?
A
self defense
B
ignorance
C.
accident
D. insanity
This scenario says "The sun is setting so low in the sky that the woman is having a hard time seeing the stoplight." Because of this, the woman has a hard to seeing so she accidentally hits Brianna. The woman would mostly likely say it was an accident to explain her actions.
legal system would be very subjective depending on who committed the crime, who was the victim, where it was, etc. It would be very localized and unfair.
First off answer D is logical but is expected however just by remaining calm doesn’t mean you’ll handle the situation so in order to actually handle a situation you call 911 obviously. Trick question, completely unspecified.
