MUJI 2d CV602
Violation of statute, ordinance or safety law.
A violation of a safety law is evidence of fault unless the violation is excused. [Name of plaintiff] claims that [name of defendant] violated a safety law that says:
[Quote or summarize in plain language the statute, ordinance or rule.]
If you decide that [name of defendant] violated this safety law, you must decide whether the violation is excused.
[Name of defendant] claims the violation is excused because:
[(1) Obeying the law would have created an even greater risk of harm.]
[(2) [He] could not obey the law because [he] faced an emergency that [he] did not create.]
[(3) [He] was unable to obey the law despite a reasonable effort to do so.]
[(4) [He] was incapable of obeying the law.]
[(5) [He] was incapable of understanding what the law required.]
Even if a driver complies with a safety law, or is excused from complying with the safety law, the driver must still comply with all other duties that I will explain to you.
