[Inattentive Driving] Hannah, a First Year Law Student, Drove Off

Question 22

Multiple Choice

[Inattentive Driving] Hannah, a first year law student, drove off campus to register for an upcoming conference. Although lawmakers in her state passed a law prohibiting the use of a cell phone while operating a motor vehicle, Hannah was doing just that. When she looked down to pick up a can of soda she dropped, Hannah crashed into the side of Dev's new convertible. A police officer down the street came over to investigate. Hannah explained to him that it was difficult to hold the cell phone in one hand, the soda in the other, and also drive. The officer was not impressed. Dev approached, furious about the significant dent in his new car. Hannah says she has insurance and that she will cover the costs of the whole incident. Dev says that is insufficient; but Hannah says that under case precedent, that is his only remedy. The officer tells Hannah that she must obey duly authorized law, and proceeds to write several citations to her.
-The law in Hannah's state regulating using cell phones would be classified as which of the following?


A) A statute
B) A type of common law
C) An executive order
D) A uniform law
E) A negative law
