Answer 1

Ans. Violation of a statute designed to protect underage, unlicensed drivers, as well as innocent third parties, from the consequences of juvenile car theft and "joy riding," by prohibiting car owner from leaving the keys in their car if the car is unattended, is likely to be characterized as Contributory Negligence.

Option C is correct. It is a defense for defendant which bars plaintiffs from any recovery if they contribute to their own injury through their own negligence. In our case it was car owner's duty not to leave keys of his car inside his car. Now if he leaves keys and his car gets stolen, then it is his personal mistake. He cannot make any calim against defendant.
