The defendant was a learner driver
He was taking lessons from a friend. The friend checked that the defendant's insurance covered her for passengers before agreeing
to go up with her. On one of the lessons, the defendant turned a bend. The claimant told her to straighten the wheel but she panicked and failed to do so
She approached the patient and the claimant slapped a handbrake and tried to straighten
the wheel but it was too late. She mounted the pavement and hit a lamppost. The claimant set a distractor to his knee. The defendant argued that the standard of car should be lowered for learner drivers
He also raised the defense of volunteer non-fit injuria in that in agreeing to get in the car knowing she was a learner, he had voluntarily accepted the risk
The court holds that a learner driver is expected to meet the same standard as a reasonable qualified contractor. The defendant was a learner driver
