Jennifer is a courier for ParcelEasy plc and drives a company van. She works in shift patterns. Last Sunday, Jennifer used the company car to give her fiancé a lift to the train station. On the way back, she decided to make a number of deliveries to various customers. After making the last delivery, Jennifer drove out of a side road, slowing down but not stopping, and collided with Bill's car. Bill's car was damaged and he suffered substantial neck injuries. Bill's wife, Margaret, was sitting in the passenger seat. Margaret was not wearing a seatbelt and was thrown forward, hitting her head on the windscreen and suffering a deep wound on her forehead.
