A driver, having noticed a defect in the braking system of their vehicle shortly before an accident, continued to operate the vehicle and subsequently caused injury when the brakes failed, leading to a finding of fault. The court upheld the lower court's decision, reasoning that the driver was negligent because they failed to stop using the vehicle immediately upon discovering a known and dangerous mechanical defect, thereby establishing a direct causal link between this negligence and the resulting damage.
