    Question

    When two motorists coming from opposite directions in their cars collide with each other and in the process, they injure seriously a person who was standing on the roadside, the two motorists are:

    A.

    Independent tortfeasors

    B.

    Participate in contributory negligence

    C.

    Two negligent persons

    D.

    Joint tortfeasors

    Correct option is A


    When two motorists collide and cause injury to a third person, they are independent tortfeasors because both are individually responsible for their actions, even though their actions led to a common result. They are not joint tortfeasors because their negligence is separate, not linked in a joint manner.
