Is the special instruction in motor vehicle accident law an accurate statement of the law?

Flores suggests the special instruction was not an accurate statement of the law because it did not describe an element of a claim or defense. It did not need to. The special instruction was "similar in function and purpose to 'pinpoint' instructions" (Soule, supra, 8 Cal.4th at p. 581), which " 'relate particular facts to a legal issue in the case' " (People v. Gutierrez (2009) 45 Cal.4th 789, 824). Though it may not have added much, the special instruction did not misstate the law.
