Question

Sid and Nancy were on a camping trip to Baxter Island. They had reservations on a ferry for themselves and their car. Because they had their two mountain bikes mounted upright and on a roof rack on their car, they had to use a special lane which was also designated for motor homes, vans, and other high profile vehicles. They were parked behind a motor home. During the crossing most drivers left their cars and went on deck. When the trip was over, Sid and Nancy wanted to leave but the driver of the motor home had not returned. One of the employees of the ferry motioned Sid and Nancy to turn to the left into the next lane rather than waiting for the motor home to move. Sid and Nancy followed the employee's hand signals, but unfortunately their bikes struck a low clearance pipe and the frames of both of their bikes were destroyed. Discuss the issues and the outcome of their lawsuit against the ferry company.

Explanation / Answer

Nancy and Sid were on a ferry when a damage happend to their bike.This incidence took place because they took the advice of a employee on the ferry who asked them to take another lane so that they could move fast.Their law suit against the ferry company is void as the employee gave them a direction to move from another lane , here the Sid and Nancy are liable for their own act as they should have judged that the path is narrow for their biles to move.The ferry company had already made them aware of the path they shoul have followed but they did not follow the instruction which was their mistake.
