COURT OF LAW
JUDGMENT
In the matter of the plaintiff’s vehicle damage due to unmarked speed humps, I find in favor of the plaintiff.
REASONS
1. Lack of signage: The defendant (local council) failed to provide adequate warning signs for the speed humps, violating the Road Traffic Act and ZINARA guidelines.
2. Reasonable speed: The plaintiff was traveling at 55 km/h, a reasonable speed for a residential area, and had no opportunity to react to the unmarked speed humps.
3. Causation: The unmarked speed humps directly caused the damage to the plaintiff’s vehicle.
4. Negligence: The defendant’s failure to provide signage constitutes negligence, as they failed to exercise reasonable care to ensure road safety.
AWARD
I order the defendant to:
1. Pay damages for the plaintiff’s vehicle repairs.
2. Install adequate signage for the speed humps within 14 days.
3. Cover the plaintiff’s legal costs.
CONCLUSION
The defendant’s negligence led to the plaintiff’s loss. This judgment serves as a reminder to ensure road safety through proper signage and maintenance.
