University Heights Pizza (UHP) is a pizza company that provides mostly home delivery.   One of its drivers, Donald, routinely drives in excess of speed limits when delivering Pizza, and UHP's management is aware of these problems.  One night while delivering pizzas, Donald decides to visit a girlfriend.   UHP is aware that he sometimes visits his girlfriend while on the job, and UHP has not objected as long as the Pizza gets delivered on time.  On the way to his girlfriend's house, but also on the way to deliver a customer's pizza, Donald runs a red light at high speeds and seriously injures Alice, a driver in another car who had the right of way.   Alice sues University Heights Pizza and Donald.   UHP assert that  UHP  is not liable for Donald's fast driving.
