We have all been driving and something unexpected has happened on the road. A deer runs out in front of your car, debris falls out of the back of a truck, or another car swerves into your lane. Defensive driving is very important because we cannot control others driving or unexpected events like an animal crossing the road.Overall this law applies to a driver if it can be shown that they were confronted with what appeared to be an emergency or dangerous situation, they did not contribute to the emergency, and when faced with the situation, they acted like a rational person would in similar circumstances. The law of sudden emergency does not apply, however, if the driver contributed to the emergency.
