In order for you to customise the following activity, please insert the following information into the script below. In each case, be as careful as you can in determining the value. Dear Your name here At 7:30 this morning, a driver insured by our company (Policy No.: 241- 575-374B) collided with a delivery truck in a small alley linking Peel Street to Metcalfe Street in downtown Montreal. Although the speed limit in the alley is only 20 km/h, the collision seems rather severe. Please determine whether Clause 315-6 of the policy can be applied. Note that a solid body of evidence is required to apply this clause. You may be called upon to testify as to the reliability of the conclusions you make. Although I don't remember your name, I do recall being told good things about the quality and thoroughness of your work. Reply with a letter summarising your ndings but please show all of your calculations. Sincerely, Christian Huygens P.S.: Since this is your rst day, I have attached Clause 315-6 to this letter. Clause 315-6: In the event that the policyholder is found criminally responsible1 or negligent2 in his or her driving, the insurance company will assume only 50% of the repair costs and reserves the right to increase the premium for a subsequent period of ve years. For the company to defray the repair costs, the holder must agree to provide access to any medical les related to the accident claim. 1. The term criminally responsible refers to impaired driving or driving under the inuence of illicit substances, such as alcohol, cannabis or cocaine. 2. The term negligent refers to driving in agrant contravention of the Highway Safety Code, such as crossing more than two lanes in less than 100 m or driving more than 30 km/h above the speed limit. Policy No.: 241-575-374B Name: Eileen Dover Address: 14B Happy Court Heart's Content, Nfld Age: 48 years Driving experience: 19 years Previous claims: 1998; $2 658 Policy type: All-risk insurance INCLUDING: Fire Theft Vandalism (Max. $35,000) Legal liability: $1,000,000 Deductible: $500 Insured car: 2009 Honda Prius Car After Accident: You find the following photograph in the file.Accident Report Eyewitness Account: \"I saw the car come into the alley. I don't know how fast it was going. The truck backed up from that loading dock and was sideways across the alley. I heard the screeching of tires and then a big BANG! It all happened so fast. He slammed on the brakes at the last second but he was going too fast to stop.\" Accident Scene: . Right-angled collision (90) between the car and the truck. . Front end of car crushed: bumper is displaced A cm from its original position . Right side of truck dented ( B cm in depth) on impact but the impact didn't move the much larger truck. . Skid marks are C m in length and determined by forensic specialists to be consistent with an acceleration of D m/sl. Driver's Medical File Following the Accident: . BP (blood pressure): 135/85 . HR(heart rate): 134 . Ecchymosis (bruising) on forehead and forearm - Seat belt lacerations on neck and chest - Drug toxicology screen: Opiates: negative; Cocaine: negative; Alcohol: negative Interview with Attending Physician: Doctor: I t's good she was wearing a seatbelt! There was considerable impact. You: How could you tell? Doctor: Well, from experience, I can tell you that a seat belt laceration of this size and severity corresponds to an impact of greater than E 9. You: E times the gravitational acceleration - that's substantial! Doctor: And it's at least E g. I 've treated MVA victims with deeper bruises and more severe injuries but those collisions were determined to have caused deceleration of greater than F g of the victim. You: I didn't think 'deceleration' was a word. It gets confusing... if the deceleration is negative... then would the acceleration be positive? I 'm not judging... I just thought... Since you're a doc.... Ha ha ha! Ha! Doctor: Hunh... Who are you again? You: Great! Fare thee well! \f
