There have been limited time to react; however, I find that his failure to see the car indicator did contribute to the collision and the damage. 16. Assessing relative responsibility is not an exact science. NC’s failure to connect the lights on the trailer was a substantial contributing factor and she must bear the major share of responsibility for the collision.
