British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Walker v. Leung, 2014 BCSC 1623 (CanLII):
I remind myself of the statement of Lord Atkinson in Toronto Railway v. King, [1908] A.C. 260 at 269, 7 C.R.C. 408 (P.C.), that “. . . traffic in the streets would be impossible if the driver of each vehicle did not proceed more or less upon the assumption that the drivers of all the other vehicles will do what it is their duty to do, namely, observe the rules regulating the traffic of the streets.”
