Question juridique clé
Whether X. breached her duty of caution by failing to make a renewed check to the left before entering the intersection.
Solution extraite
Yes. In the unclear and dangerous situation, she had to verify whether the left-hand van had already proceeded; a routine check would have revealed the right-of-way violation.
Motifs extraits
The trust principle is not absolute. When circumstances indicate possible improper conduct by others, Art. 26(2) SVG requires special caution. The intersection was described as unclear, unsteady and difficult, so a risk-averse check was required.
