Even though a driver knows that the steering is failing on the driver's car, the driver uses the
automobile to go to work. One day on a highway, the steering system finally fails. The plaintiff is

cannot completely escape hitting the on-coming car. When the plaintiff sues for damages, the
defendant says that the plaintiff should not recover anything. The driver's argument seeks to deny the
plaintiff's recovery because
A) of comparative negligence
B) the plaintiff failed to exercise due care in operating the plaintiff's car
C) the plaintiff violated the rule of "avoidable consequences"
