On her way home from work one night, Anna Fender stopped at a pub called Tequila Mockingbird. After leaving the pub, Fender drove her 2013 Toyota Camry into a tree at a speed of approximately 35 miles per hour. When the car struck the tree, the passenger compartment collapsed and Fender was seriously injured. Her blood alcohol content was 0.08%.

Scenario 2-Torts
Kenny's physician, Dr. Carver, wrote a prescription for pain medication and cautioned Kenny not to drive or operate heavy machinery while taking the medication.
