A driver turning right at an intersection must exercise simultaneous attention to pedestrians on footpaths who may enter the roadway, not merely to oncoming traffic; failure to observe a pedestrian at all before collision constitutes negligence. Expert evidence on collision avoidance must account for both time and distance, and must be based on assumptions consistent with the evidence. A damages assessment based on medical opinions founded on incomplete or inaccurate histories provided by the plaintiff, where the plaintiff has been found to lack frankness about pre-existing conditions, will be set aside for a new trial.
