Exercise 5

Clark was driving a company-owned truck on the left side of the road instead of the right. He collided with Marchant's automobile, injuring him. When Marchant sued Clark, Clark's defense was that he had been instructed by his employer's supervisor to drive that way. Is that defense valid? (Marchant v. Clark, 273 P.2d 541)
